The TCP layer will generate TSO packets based on the kernel socket features associated with the flow. So if you have two devices, one supporting TSO, the other not, then the flows associated with the non-TSO device will not have their packets built for TSO. This has no bearing on the device supporting TSO, which its feature flags will propogate into the kernel socket for that flow, and cause any TCP flows to that device to be TSO packets. So in a nutshell, disabling TSO is on a per-device level, not a global switch. -PJ Waskiewicz -- 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
