Abstract
An approach is provided in which a network hardware adapter stores offload information in a shared memory area that is located on a host system. The offload information includes connection information that was offloaded to the network hardware adapter by an application executing on the host system. An operating system (e.g., a network device driver) detects a network adapter error corresponding to the network hardware adapter and, in turn, retrieves the offload information stored in the shared memory area. As such, an analysis application utilizes the retrieved offload information to debug the network adapter error.
