Abstract:
1. A method for increasing network transmission efficiency by increasing a data updating rate of a memory for increasing efficiency of a network interface circuit transmitting data to a network, the network interface circuit including a memory and a buffer for storing at least one packet to be transmitted to the network, the method comprising: storing a packet data corresponding to a packet in the memory; transmitting the packet data from the memory to the buffer for storing the packet data in the buffer before transmission to the network; and storing another packet data corresponding to another packet in the memory in response to transferring the packet data from the memory to the buffer; wherein a portion of the packet data is transmitted to the buffer before the memory starts to store at least a portion of another packet data for replacing the portion of the packet data; if the packet data is divided into a first portion and a second portion, when the first portion is transmitted to the buffer and the second portion is not transmitted to the buffer, the memory starts to store at least a portion of another packet data.
