TCP Acceleration

TAS is a drop-in highly CPU efficient and scalable TCP acceleration service for multi-tenant environments running on modern multi-cores. TAS runs TCP processing in an optimized fast-path running on dedicated cores separate from the application. Processing is fully isolated from the application, enabling better performance without sacrificing protection.

In FlexTOE, we have adapted the software-only TAS prototype to instead offload the fast-path onto a SmartNIC to reduce processor load and improve efficiency.
