....the physical medium and dictate mechanical standards, such protocols were necessarily implemented using special hardware devices. As time progressed, much of the functionality of the OSI data link layer has been implemented in additional VLSI hardware circuitry complementary to the host CPU [4][19][42] The goal of this hardware has been twofold: 1) to perform protocol operations at generally higher rates of speed, and (2) to lower the burden of protocol processing on the host CPU [28] 6 The trend has been for an increasing amount of higher layer protocol functionality to be performed in ....
