Patent ID: 6981014

Claim:
Circuitries for facilitating data exchange via a network, said circuitries being associated with a first host computer coupled to said network, said network also being coupled to a second host computer, said circuitries comprising: means for facilitating transmitting first data associated with a bi-directional data flow from said first host computer to said second host computer, said first data being transmitted using the TCP protocol, said means for facilitating transmitting being associated with said first host computer and is configured for storing transmit-facilitating parameters associated with transmitting said first data using said TCP protocol; and means for facilitating receiving second data associated with said bi-directional data flow, said second data being transmitted from said second host computer to said first host computer using said TCP protocol, said means for facilitating receiving being associated with said first host computer and is configured for storing receive-facilitating parameters associated with receiving said second data using said TCP protocol, wherein said means for facilitating transmitting and said means for facilitating receiving are employed simultaneously to facilitate simultaneous transmitting said first data and receiving said second data by said circuitries.
