Chelsio Delivers Microsoft TCP Chimney-enabled 10GbE Adapter
Chelsio Communications announced availability of its TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) technology fully supporting the Microsoft TCP Chimney architecture. Microsoft TCP Chimney allows Windows operating systems to offload network TCP processing from the CPU to the network controller.
Chelsio said TCP/IP processing consumes a high amount of server CPU cycles and at 10Gbps rates, it places a tremendous load on the memory subsystem and the need to offload this burden from the server becomes critical.
The Chelsio TCP Chimney-enabled adapter frees the host CPU from network processing. It also eliminates data copy and frees up memory bandwidth for processing of applications.
Chelsio also announced that it is licensing Alacritech Inc. patents to enable Chimney driver support.http://www.chelsio.com

You just read about Microsoft. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Affirmed Networks built Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core. What became of it?
Affirmed Networks brought Virtualized and cloud-native mobile core to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Microsoft for US$1.35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Microsoft today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about TCP. Here is what it replaced:
Banyan VINES served 1984–2003. What ultimately replaced it?
Banyan VINES a Unix-based network OS whose StreetTalk global directory let users find resources across a wide-area internetwork by name, ahead of its time but tied to VINES' own protocol. Its job passed to TCP — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
