Delivering Received Data From an Offload Target
[The TCP chimney offload feature is deprecated and should not be used.]
An offload target can deliver received data through the TCP chimney in either of the following ways:
By completing a receive request(a receive buffer) that has been preposted by an application.
By indicating the received data. An offload target can use the receive indication size to optimize the delivery of received data.
The delivery algorithm specifies the conditions under which an offload target must use a preposted receive request or make an receive indication.
