Abstract
In a network communication system involving a client and a server, communications are separated and forwarded into multiple subsystems for processing independently and concurrently. A protocol offloading system for processing information transmitted between a client and a server is provided. The protocol offloading system includes a first subsystem for processing protocol information and a second subsystem, independent of the first subsystem, for processing the actual data.
