Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for efficiently transferring data between a first and second processors having shared memory. A plurality of data packets are aggregated into a packet bundle at the first processor. The packet bundle is then transferred from the first processor to the second processor using the shared memory, wherein the transfer of the packet bundle is performed in a single context switch at the first processor. The packet bundle is then unbundled into individual data packets at the second processor, wherein a processing load of the second processor is reduced due to the aggregation of the data packets into the packet bundle by the first processor.
