Hi All,
There is a nice feature (I saw it on 3Com EtherLink Server NIC cards) called "TCP Segmentation Offload". Which means that the stack is presented with a larger MTU than eth, and the NIC produces smaller tcp segments. More info at M$ http://www.microsoft.com/HWDEV/network/taskoffload.htm#Segment
I would like to hear your comments, weather this is something that can gain real performance, and how to incorporate this into the Linux stack (At least I didn't see any references to it in kernel 2.4.(x<4)).
