Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for managing data optimization routines in device drivers in a data transmission path. In a data transmission path, data optimization routines associated with device drivers are identified. When data is received in the data transmission path, a determination is made whether a data optimization routine associated with a device driver in the path comprises a same optimization or a competing optimization as a data optimization routine associated with one or more other device drivers in the path. If the data optimization routine for the device driver comprises a same or competing optimization routine as the data optimization routine associated with the other device drivers, one of the device drivers is selected to perform its associated data optimization routine on the data. A notification is sent to the other device drivers in the path to skip their associated data optimization routines on the data.
