Chelsio responds to the TOE article

Last week's Kernel Page included an article about the TCP offload engine patch proposed by Chelsio Communications. That article reflected the criticisms of the TOE approach which have been heard on the development lists. In response, Chelsio's Wael Noureddine has sent us a letter defending TCP offload engines. That letter appears in this week's Letters to the Editor page. It merits a mention here, however, since it provides a different view of the situation than was seen on this page last week. Readers who do not normally get to the back page may want to have a look this time around.

Readers who want to know the state of offloading support on their
interfaces can use the ethtool program with the -k flag.

For example:

$ sudo ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: on
