Abstract

An apparatus in one embodiment handles service requests over a network, wherein the network utilizes a protocol. In this aspect, the apparatus includes: a) a network subsystem for receiving and transmitting network service requests using the network protocol; and b) a service subsystem, coupled to the network subsystem, for satisfying the network service requests. Also in this aspect, at least one of the network subsystem and the service subsystem is hardware-implemented; the other of the network subsystem and the service subsystem may optionally be hardware-accelerated. A variety of related embodiments are also provided, including file servers and web servers.
