The header editing is a lot more complicated because things like routing and other extension headers can sit between IPV6 and TCP header. It is probably why IPV6 TSO hardware does not exist yet :) Do not take this to mean I think it should not be implemented, I think it should. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
