Roughly described: a network interface device has an interface. The interface is coupled to first network interface device circuitry, host interface circuitry and host offload circuitry. The host interface circuitry is configured to interface to a host device and has a scheduler configured to schedule providing and/or receiving of data to/from the host device. The interface is configured to allow at least one of: data to be provided to said host interface circuitry from at least one of said first network device interface circuitry and said host offload circuitry; and data to be provided from said host interface circuitry to at least one of said first network interface device circuitry and said host offload circuitry.
