I bet the tricks that we hack into the TCP/IP stack for LSO and for
LRO will turn out to be more difficult to maintain than the proposed
TOE hooks.
LRO is going to be mostly transparent.
How do you intend on avoiding huge stretch ACKs?
As far as I can tell the mainstream of the industry seems to be
moving to TOE, seeing LSO as an intermediate implementation on the
way to full TCP offload.
We've been hearing this for years, I'm sick of it already. TOE turns
critical features off, stateless offloads allow them to stay enabled
and get the performance boost.
This is again assuming TOE cannot implement these features. Users should
decide which features they care about, and if TOE doesn't have them then it
won't be a viable alternative for them.
