Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel method of implementing a network communication protocol. In one embodiment, the state of the network communication process is determined based upon one or more conditions. The protocol stack is then executed as a single thread of execution if the network communication process is in a first state. Alternatively, the protocol stack is executed as a receive thread of execution and a drainer thread of execution if the network communication process is in a second state.
