Why <strong>TCP</strong>/IP Software is Slow<br />

•<strong>TCP</strong>/IP checksum offload:<br />

•<strong>Offload</strong>s calculation of Checksum function to hardware.<br />

•Resulting in speeding up by 8-15%<br />

•Large send offload (LSO) or <strong>TCP</strong> segmentation offload (TSO):<br />

Relieves the OS from the task of segmenting the application’s transmit<br />

data into MTU-size chunks. Using LSO, <strong>TCP</strong> can transmit a chunk of data<br />

larger than the MTU size to the network adapter. The adapter driver then<br />

divides the data into MTU-size chunks <strong>and</strong> uses an early copy <strong>TCP</strong> <strong>and</strong> IP<br />

headers of the send buffer to create <strong>TCP</strong>/IP headers for each packet in<br />

preparation for transmission.<br />
