Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods are described for composing on-chip interconnects with configurable interfaces. A configurable interface includes a configurable agent and interface port. The configurable agent has a first input and a first output with the first input receiving a first communication. An input of a core receives the configurable agent's first output. The agent is configured for important inter-network characteristics such as topology, flooding control, clocking/reset, and performance enhancement.
Certain aspects of a method and system for a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device with integrated support for Ethernet, TCP, iSCSI, RDMA, and network application acceleration are provided. Aspects of the method may include storing on a multifunction host bus adapter (MHBA) chip that handles a plurality of protocols, at least a portion of received data for at least one of a plurality of network connections. The MHBA chip may be configured for handling the received data based on one of the plurality of protocols that is associated with the received data. The received data for the at least one of the plurality of network connections may be processed within the MHBA chip. The one of the plurality of protocols may include an Ethernet protocol, a transmission control protocol (TCP), an Internet protocol (IP), an Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol, and/or a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol.
