Subject: Re: TSO support

Hi, 

On TSO and TCP options, as far as I tested approx. 10 NICs, TSO copies TCP options to all the split segments. (We performed this test for Timestamp and an undefined option).  
This paper (http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/tmp/mboxes.pdf) would be helpful.  

Thanks,
- Michio
