Abstract
A method for receiving receive data associated with a bi-directional data flow between a first host computer and a second host computer. The first host computer and the second host computer are coupled via a computer network. The method includes storing receive-facilitating parameters employed for the receiving the receive data in a first control block. The first control block is implemented in the first host computer and associated with the bi-directional data flow. The receiving the receive data is performed in accordance with the TCP protocol. The method also includes employing the receive-facilitating parameters in the first control block to facilitate receiving a given portion of the receive data at the first host computer from the second computer. In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, the receiving the given portion of the receive data occurs simultaneously with servicing a transmit request pertaining to transmit data associated with the bi-directional data flow from the first host computer to the second host computer. The transmit data is transmitted using transmit-facilitating parameters stored in a second control block implemented in the first host computer. The transmit data is transmitted in accordance with the TCP protocol.
