Abstract: We have built a high-speed local-area network called Nectar that uses programmable communication processors as host interfaces. In contrast to most protocol engines, our communication processors have a flexible runtime system that supports multiple transport protocols as well as applicationspecific activities. In particular, we have implemented the TCP/IP protocol suite and Nectar-specific communication protocols on the communication processor. The Nectar network currently has 25 hosts and has... (Update)

.... function of the CAB is protocol processing for messages sent over the Nectar network but because the CAB runs a flexible runtime system [7], it can also execute higher level support for network computing and even the communication intensive parts of applications. Functions...

...be deployed with no client software modification. For NIs that offload higher level protocols (e.g. IP security or TCP) from the host [11, 13], redundant work becomes unnecessary because the only instance of the work is already within the NI. Self securing NIs enforce policies...
