Step 14 In the TCP Offload area, review the information in the following fields:
Name | Description | |
Enable TCP Segmentation | If enabled, the CPU sends large TCP packets to the hardware to be | |
Offload field | segmented. If disabled, the CPU segments large packets. | |
| Note | This option is also known as Large Send Offload |
|
| (LSO). |
Enable TCP Rx Offload | If enabled, the CPU sends all packet checksums to the hardware for | |
Checksum Validation field | validation. If disabled, the CPU validates all packet checksums. | |
Enable TCP Tx Offload | If enabled, the CPU sends all packets to the hardware so that the | |
Checksum Generation field | checksum can be calculated. If disabled, the CPU calculates all packet | |
| checksums. | |
Enable Large Receive field | If enabled, the hardware reassembles all segmented packets before | |
| sending them to the CPU. If disabled, the CPU processes all large | |
| packets. |
|
Step 15 In the Receive Side Scaling area, review the information in the following fields:
Name | Description |
Enable TCP Receive Side Scaling | Receive Side Scaling (RSS) distributes network receive processing |
field | across multiple CPUs in multiprocessor systems. |
| If enabled, network receive processing is shared across processors |
| whenever possible. If disabled, network receive processing is always |
| handled by a single processor even if additional processors are available. |
Enable IPv4 RSS field | If enabled, RSS is enabled on IPv4 networks. |
Enable | If enabled, RSS is enabled for TCP transmissions across IPv4 networks. |
Enable IPv6 RSS field | If enabled, RSS is enabled on IPv6 networks. |
Enable | If enabled, RSS is enabled for TCP transmissions across IPv6 networks. |
Enable IPv6 Extension RSS field | If enabled, RSS is enabled for IPv6 extensions. |
