> TCP segmentation offloading?
Hmmm... then why a bunch of 4K frames, I wonder, instead of one big 30K
frame? Must be a configurable kernel parameter?
Also, my CPU is 95% idle most of the time and really never peaks above
30%, so I'm not sure why I would even want TSO enabled, since its
primary purpose is to save the CPU from having to perform the
segmentation. To me, it just adds a layer of logical comlexity to the
captures.
>From a throughput standpoint, I'm not sure what good TSO does either,
because any way you slice it, you're still limited by the PMTU, right?
So if CPU time is ample, what does TSO buy you?
