Thanks David. Yes, infact we have a card which supports TSO over IPv6. This support in the kernel will be helpful to us. Ravi -----Original Message----- From: David S.

No, the support is not there, not because of any technical reason but simply because no devices exist which can handle ipv6 TCP TSO. If you have a card which can do it, we simply need to add a new NETIF_F_TSO_IPV6 flag and the necessary tcp*.c code. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
