Abstract
A method and apparatus for interfacing protocol application data frame operation requests with a data frame input/output device having a buffer structure containing data frames according to a buffer structure scheme, while maintaining isolation between the buffer structure and the protocol applications, including: receiving, with an interface, from a protocol application a data frame operation request for operation on a portion of an identified data frame within the buffer structure; linking, with the interface, the request to an appropriate data frame operation routine in the data frame input/output device; and the data frame operation routine executing the request, in conjunction with the protocol application, on the portion of the identified data frame without requiring that the protocol application have knowledge of the buffer structure scheme.
