This is actually somewhat orthogonal to TSO, but some cards (including ours) are indeed optimized for handling "packet trains" (bus transfer efficiency, etc). There are also stack implementations that support transmit for more than one packet at the time, and the improvements are noticeable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
