Using NVIDIA Software

In traditional networking environments, inspecting packets is
laborious and affects CPU overhead, memory bandwidth, and overall
system latency. In comparison, the NVIDIA TCP/IP Acceleration
engine discards bad packets before the CPU detects them. In addition,
good packets take an “express lane” and bypass the traditional
“network stack” process, improving overall throughput and lowering
CPU utilization.
T configure TCP/IP acceleration, select Set TCP/IP Acceleration
configuration from the Networking screen. Note that by default,
TCP/IP acceleration is turned off (the Not be hardware-accelerated
radio button is checked). Click the Use hardware-acceleration
(recommended) radio button to enable TCP/IP acceleration. Click
Apply to save changes.
