| | Trapeze Overview |
 | | Trapeze supports scatter/gather DMA so that payload buffers may span multiple noncontiguous page frames. |
 | | Trapeze messages are short control messages (maximum 128 bytes) with optional attached payloads typically containing application data not interpreted by the networking system, e.g., file blocks, virtual memory pages, or a TCP segments. |
 | | Trapeze currently hosts kernel-to-kernel RPC communications and zero-copy page migration traffic for network memory and network storage, a user-level communications layer for MPI and distributed shared memory, a low-overhead kernel logging and profiling system, and TCP/IP device drivers for FreeBSD and Digital UNIX. |
