Abstract
A computer network peripheral device transfers received data packets to a storage unit of a host computer system on a nonsequential data packet portion by portion basis instead of a sequential whole data packet by whole data packet basis of the prior art. Any received data packet is segmented into a plurality of data packet portions, and the data packet portions may be transferred in a nonsequential order. Such nonsequential transfer of data packet portions to the storage unit of the host computer system may optimize efficient data processing of the data packets by the host computer system.
