Performancewise there are lots of good things on the SCSI and RAID side of the design.

Which go back a good five or six years without I2O (Digi etc). The i2o stuff has a limited notion of stuff like checksum computation, it has good scatter gather as well. The big advantage from Intels point of view is its a standard API so they can hide all the terribly precious 8) secrets and let us drive the card, instead of making everyone buy Acenics. Maybe thats a good thing however. Alan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
