Personal experience is that full TOE impairs speed. Every server we’ve had that has it enabled gets lowered network throughput. Checksum would be only offloading that would benefit.
PowerD under VM doesn’t do anything. VMware already does those types of power management. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Thompson Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 3:19 PM To: pfSense support list Subject: [pfSense] VM TOE settings? Can any of the dev team tell me why, at least when installing under VMware – I haven’t checked bare metal, the default is to enable h/w checksum, but disable all the other h/w offload features? I can’t find any notes in the git commit logs about this (but maybe I’m searching for the wrong things). Additionally, is there any point to enabling PowerD under VMware?
