Network communication protocol processing optimization system

An information handling system (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• a plurality of communication interfaces coupled to the processing system;
• and
• a memory system storing a plurality of optimized protocol stacks, wherein the memory system is coupled to the processing system and includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to:
• receive a request that includes a requested protocol stack and an external system and, in response, send a first synchronization packet including a data field having a protocol stack identifier through one of the plurality of communication interfaces to the external system;
• receive an acknowledge packet and a second synchronization packet including a data field having the protocol stack identifier from the external system through one of the plurality of communication interfaces;
• and
• configure a first optimized protocol stack of the plurality of optimized protocol stacks that is identified by the protocol stack identifier to handle communications between two of the plurality of communication interfaces.

A method for network communication, comprising:

• receiving a request that includes a requested protocol processing engine and an external system and, in response, sending a first synchronization packet including a data field having a protocol processing engine identifier through one of a plurality of communication interfaces to the external system;
• receiving an acknowledge packet and a second synchronization packet including a data field having the protocol stack identifier from the external system through one of the plurality of communication interfaces;
• and
• configuring a first optimized protocol processing engine of a plurality of optimized protocol processing engines that is identified by the protocol processing engine identifier to handle communications between two of the plurality of communication interfaces.
