One assumes this is a modification to the GLDv3 mac module to disect an LSO packet into MTU size packets such that the driver/hardware can be LSO-unaware whilst still giving some proportion of the LSO benefit by allowing large packets to pass down the stack from TCP? One question would be how the benefit of doing a single DMA-map for the LSO payload could be done if the packet is already segmented. Paul -- Paul Durrant http://www.linkedin.com/in/pdurrant
