Hardware TCP Offload Engine based on 10-Gbps Ethernet for low-latency network communication

This paper introduces a hardware TCP Offload Engine (TOE) aiming at low-latency communication systems. The throughput can reach 9.99 Gbps with the Jumbo frame. The input-to-output receiving latency of a packet consists of 100 bytes payload and 64 bytes header with timestamp is close to 90 nanoseconds. The application-to-application latency between the proposed acceleration system and the native Windows socket is one tenth of the measurement result compared with the latency between the native Linux socket without TOE acceleration and the native Windows socket.
