I think there's a terminology confusion here; you seem to be using DIX to mean the TCP CRC and DIF to mean T10DIF. I've seen other people use DIX to mean separate SGLs for metadata and DIF to mean interleaved data. Can you confirm which thing you mean here? -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
