Abstract

Presented herein are various embodiments that improve the performance of data handling through improved framing. Embodiments recognize that while the TCP protocol provides a byte stream abstraction, the layer above TCP (e.g., an NVMe layer) is packetized and the layer below TCP is also packetized. In one or more embodiments, by disabling Nagle's algorithm and by starting a new segment each time a protocol data unit (PDU) starts results in the PDU header being positioned immediately after a segment header. A receiver need not search through the entire data field of a segment to find the PDU header. This framing may be further improved by determining the maximum PDU size that can be sent in a single packet and by limiting the size of generated PDUs. Other embodiments and improvements are also presented herein.
