David, Our next rev of the card Xframe II has support for large send offload for UDP as well. We are in the process of generating and testing a kernel patch for the same. The initial results look very good. If you feel this is useful, we can send across the patch for review (along with benchmark results). Also, currently it's written for IPv4. We could do it for IPv6 as well. Will wait for your opinion..

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
