Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method of improving switching capacity in a software-based network switch. The method may involve storing a data packet in a first local buffer, storing one or more header fields of the data packet in a second local buffer. A common identifier may be assigned to the data packet stored in the first local buffer and the one or more header fields stored in the second local buffer. The one or more header fields may be directly sent from the NIC to the CPU for the data packet processing. At least one header field of the one or more header fields may be modified by the CPU. Further, the one or more header fields may be overwritten with the at least one modified header field in the data packet stored in the first local buffer of the NIC based on the common identifier.
