Abstract
When interfacing with a host, a networking device can handle a first data like Bulk Data Send. In response to a first doorbell ring, the networking device can read a first queue entry from a send queue in the host. Based on the first queue entry, the networking device can read the first data from a first memory in the host and then output the read first data. The networking device can also handle a second data like Direct Packet Push. The networking device can store a second data received from the host. In response to a second doorbell ring, the networking device can output the second data. The first data and the second data can be associated with first and second queue entries, both on the same send queue in the host. High-throughput and low-latency can be achieved. Small and large data packets can be accommodated.
