Lazy Receiver Processing (LRP): A Network Subsystem Architecture
for Server Systems

Abstract
The explosive growth of the Internet, the widespread use of
WWW-related applications, and the increased reliance on client-server
architectures places interesting new demands on network servers. In
particular, the operating system running on such systems needs to
manage the machine's resources in a manner that maximizes and
maintains throughput under conditions of high load. We propose and
evaluate a new network subsystem architecture that provides improved
fairness, stability, and increased throughput under high network
load. The architecture is hardware independent and does not degrade
network latency or bandwidth under normal load conditions.
