Method for communication using pci express dedicated communication module and network device including the same

Abstract

In a method for communication between hosts using a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) dedicated communication module, a PCIe dedicated communication module of a first host generates a first connection buffer for receiving a connection command from a second host, stands by a connection request from the second host, determines whether the first host is connectable to the second host in response to the connection request received from the second host, and, if it is determined that the first host is connectable to the second host, generates a first connection socket connected to the second host for the purpose of data communication. The PCIe dedicated communication module generates a first communication buffer to store data received from the second host, assigns the first communication buffer to the first connection socket, permits the connection between the first and second hosts, and stands by data communication with the second host.
