碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 93 === In recent years, the rapid evolution of the Internet and technological advances in VLSI such that the bandwidth of Ethernet from 10Mbps improve to Gigabits. If under Gigabits network transition environment, the popular protocol suit in the Internet which the TCP/IP still use conventional software process method, the process performance of a packet is much less than the network bandwidth. Therefore, the protocol process will is the major bottleneck of network transition system. As the result of the above, A new technology which the TCP/IP Offload Engine(TOE) be proposed. In common architecture of TOE, besides amount of offload protocol, the support maximum numbers of connection even more to decide the architecture is bad or good. Furthermore, the support maximum number be depend on the identity ability of connection. This paper besides discuss what is the connection identity in the TOE, and will proposed a faster identification architecture of connection for TOE. Finally, we have evaluates the performance of the proposed architecture through simulation.
