  Path cleared for Longhorn network acceleration technology
Time: 14:30 EST/19:30 GMT | News Source: Windowsfordevices.com | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Microsoft has settled a dispute with Alacritech Inc. over that company's SLIC TCP-offload technology. Prior to the settlement, Microsoft had been barred by a Federal Appeals Court injunction from including a newly developed network acceleration technology -- code-named Chimney -- in an upcoming release of Longhorn, the next generation of Windows. Chimney is designed to improve the performance of network-intensive applications by shifting a significant portion of the load of managing incoming and outgoing data from the computer's main CPU and memory to separate, specialized hardware. This would free up processing power for other tasks and reduce the amount of data passing through the computer's main system bus.
