BTW, I don't entirely buy your hardware complexity argument. When we're looking at checksumming offload via 1's complement in the RX descriptor, that is heaps simpler than having a seperate RTL path for N different encapsulation technologies and/or protocols. I'd rather maintain a single 1's complement circuit than N header parser engines that trigger the sum at the right range. There is definitely long term maintainability and stability value in this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
