Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates buffering data at a kernel in a computer system, wherein the data is buffered based on the structure of a message contained in the data. The system operates by receiving data at a computer system from an external source. Next, the system buffers the data at a kernel on the computer system. As the system buffers the data, the system also determines if the buffered data constitutes a complete message as defined by a communication protocol. If so, the system forwards the buffered data to an application on the computer system.
