Abstract

A network protocol and interface using direct deposit mess aging provides low overhead communication in a network of multi-user computers. This system uses both sender-provided and receiver-provided information to process received messages and to deposit both data and control information directly where they are needed: data in memory and control information in conditionally/optionally interrupting a host processor. Message processing is separated into data delivery, which bypasses the host processor and operating system, and message actions which may or may not require host processor interaction. In this protocol, a message includes an indication of the operation desired by the sender, an operand specified by the sender and an operand which refers to some information stored at the receiver. The receiver ensures that the desired action is permitted and then, if the action is permitted, performs the action according to both the operand specified by the sender and the state of the receiver. The action may be message delivery, wherein the operands in the message specify values for use in various addressing modes including direct, indirect, post-increment and index modes. The action may also be conditionally generating an interrupt, wherein the operands are used, in combination with the receiver state, to determine whether a message requires immediate or delayed action. The action may also be an operation on a register in the network interface or on other information stored at the receiver. The network interface and protocol are intended for use with local-area networks. Specializations of this interface and protocol are particularly applicable to asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. The network interface includes endpoints which may be nested and overlapped, address registers which may be organized into windows which may be nested and overlapped, address register protection and integration of exception handling and flow control.
