Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes at least one outgoing transmission engine implemented in hardware, wherein the at least one outgoing transmission engine is for transmitting data in the plurality of buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine to the intersystem transmission medium, and a memory for storing the plurality of buffers, wherein each of the buffers queued to the at least one outgoing transmission engine is dequeued after the data is transmitted therefrom and requeued to an available buffer queue. In another embodiment, a system includes the above, except that it includes one or more incoming reception engines instead of outgoing transmission engines. In another embodiment, a method includes buffering data to be sent out by executing a loop of commands on an intersystem communication device and disconnecting the buffers after data has been transferred.
