It improves performance on software queueing devices between guests and hypervisors. This is a more and more important application these days. Even when the system running the Hypervisor has a non TSO capable device in the end it'll still save CPU cycles this way. Right now virtualized IO tends to much more CPU intensive than direct IO so any help it can get is beneficial. It also makes loopback faster, although given that's probably not that useful. And a lot of the "TSO infrastructure" was needed for zero copy TX anyways, which benefits most reasonable modern NICs (anything with hardware checksumming) -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
