Abstract
An adapter module executing on a computing device of a computing environment is to be used to transmit packets from a network interface card of the computing environment to a control program executing within the computing environment. The adapter module obtains packet information of a packet received at the network interface card. Based on obtaining the packet information, a packet completion queue entry is generated in a packet completion queue and the packet information is stored in the packet completion queue entry. The packet information is to be used to locate a data buffer into which the packet is stored. The packet completion queue entry is provided to the control program to be used by the control program to retrieve the packet from the data buffer.
