Abstract
Techniques for efficient communication packet generation in internet of things (IOT) include presenting an application programming interface to each of a plurality of protocols in a plurality of different layers of a network communications protocol stack. A single packet buffer is configured in memory to hold headers for all of the plurality of protocols for a packet directed to a first destination node. Pointers are also stored in memory to tables maintained by the plurality of protocols. In response to receiving input at the application programming interface from a first protocol, at least one bit is updated in the single packet buffer based on the input and on data in a table maintained by a different second protocol of the plurality of protocols.
