Abstract:
1. A method for handling out-of-order TCP segments in a wireless system, the method comprising: parsing incoming TCP segments received by a wireless network processor into corresponding TCP header segments and/or corresponding TCP data segments; storing said parsed incoming TCP segments in a host buffer, wherein said corresponding TCP header segments and/or said corresponding TCP data segments are stored in separate corresponding portions of said host buffer, wherein said host buffer is off-chip to said wireless network processor, and said host buffer is coupled to said wireless network processor via a host bus; for said stored and parsed incoming TCP segments, determining whether a current received TCP segment is an in-order TCP segment or an out-of-order TCP segment with respect to an immediately previously received TCP segment; and when said current received TCP segment is said out-of-order TCP segment:
