This paper discusses current network technologies and protocols and presents a simulation
study of the most common networking protocol used today, TCP/IP. The TCP/IP protocol
stack has many inherent problems that will be shown through this simulation study. Using
the SimpleScalar Toolset, the significance of the data copying and checksumming
performed in TCP/IP will be shown along with the architecture needed to support the
processing of TCP/IP. Solutions for these TCP/IP pitfalls including a zero-copy protocol
and a design for an intelligent network interface card will also be presented. / Graduation date: 2000
