By minimizing context +switching for each packet, DCO effectively reduces overhead. This optimization +is achieved by keeping most data handling tasks within the kernel, avoiding +frequent switches between kernel and user space for encryption and packet +handling. As a result, the processing of each packet becomes more efficient, +potentially leveraging hardware encryption offloading support available in +the kernel. + +.. note:: OpenVPN DCO is not full OpenVPN features supported , is currently + considered experimental. Furthermore, there are certain OpenVPN features and + use cases that remain incompatible with DCO.
