Hello Jeff , All , Why couldn't the implementation be setup that the tcp offload code would be acquired from a kernel build ? ie: the card presents a filesystem to the user and a script (or ?) is used to place the necessary components onto that file system & tested & ... Very difficult yes , But s/b do able .
Well, that's too expensive to embed on a card. You basically just re-created an SMP (well, AMP) system, except that socket traffic, userland interfacing, and such has an extra bounce over the PCI bus.
