This screams "Not Invented Here" syndrome. Massive yikes at the digram showing TCP in software in the OSI model. There have been hardware accelerated TCP stacks for decades. They called TCP Offload Engines, they work great, have done for ages. Why are you building one and giving it a new name? Seems like a pretty enormous amount of work and you would've gotten 90+% of the gains by just implementing a standard TOE. I guess the only good reason I can think to do this yourself is that they'd left it so late to get to this that all the companies that were good at this got bought (Solareflare, Mellanox etc).
