  • executing a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer instance in a first execution entity and a higher layer instance in a second execution entity;

    receiving, by said first execution entity, a first TCP packet;

    generating, by said first TCP layer instance, a first event message by processing of said TCP packet;

    storing said first event message in an event queue;

    identifying, by said second execution entity, the presence of said event message in said event queue; and

    updating, by said second execution entity, a first data structure corresponding to processing of said event message by said higher layer instance in said second execution entity.
