If you rummage through a set of TCP-IP archives, you'll find a note
that Van Jacobson of LBL and Mike Karels of UCB have got a TCP for
4.3BSD that runs at about 8megabips, while only consuming a real
small fraction of the CPU cycles.

You don't need netblt, off-board or other tricks to get a mechanism
good enough for IPC; you just need to do some hard engineering.
