An apparatus and a system may include an adaptation module, a plurality of Direct Transport Interfaces (DTIs), a DTI accelerator, and a Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) accelerator. The adaptation module may provide a translated sockets call from an application program to one of the DTIs, where an included set of memory structures may couple the translated sockets call to the DTI accelerator, which may in turn couple the set of memory structures to the TCP/IP accelerator. An article may include data causing a machine to perform a method including: receiving an application program sockets call at the adaptation module, deriving a translated sockets call from the application program sockets call, receiving the translated sockets call at a DTI, coupling the translated sockets call to a DTI accelerator using a set of memory structures in the DTI, and coupling the set of memory structures to a TCP/IP accelerator.
