Abstract

A method for the synchronization of network neighbor reachability between a host networking stack and a peripheral device, which offloads one or more network protocols is provided. The network neighbor reachability represents the reachability of another computer on the network. This invention enables conventional neighbor reachability to be extended to seamlessly support some network connections to a specific remote host to be offloaded to a peripheral device, while other network connections are not.
