DATA TRANSCEIVING OPERATIONS AND DEVICES

Abstract:

Implementations of this specification provide data transceiving operations and devices. An example method performed by a network interface controller (NIC) includes receiving to-be-sent data from a host; sending the to-be-sent data to a first data processing module that is outside of the NIC; receiving first processing result data from the first data processing module; using a network interface of the NIC to send the first processing result data to a data receiver; receiving to-be-received data from a data sender; sending the to-be-received data to a second data processing module that is outside of the NIC; receiving second processing result data from the second data processing module; and using a host interface of the NIC to send the second processing result data to the host.
