Myri10ge, for one.. But wait, maybe I mis-understood what you mean by "partial". Your reference to software workarounds for tiny packets confused me. I think of partial as HCK_PARTIALCKSUM. Or did you mean sometimes doing the checksum in hardware, and sometimes in software? Drew _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
