Maybe we can use this thread to discuss offloading features for mpls and vlan qinq.
> > <rk> are you referring to TSO/LRO? TSO, checksum offload, vlan tag insertion. LRO is on receive so it won't be affected by this. <rk> I think checksum offloading should be independant of vlan headers, not sure why you mention this? Receive side won't be affected? I have to disagree. There are NICs which support vlan tag receive offloading and its important especially for high speed NICs. For MPLS, it's mostly deployed in provider-edge or provider network. I would be interested in understanding the deployment scenarios of ovs in this case. Coming back to your question of mpls offloading in another thread, I have not come across any NICs which does this, if you have please send me the pointer to it. I would be interested in taking a look at its datasheet. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
