Offloading ---------- .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet offload Enable different types of hardware offloading on the given NIC. :abbr:`GSO (Generic Segmentation Offload)` is a pure software offload that is meant to deal with cases where device drivers cannot perform the offloads described above. What occurs in GSO is that a given skbuff will have its data broken out over multiple skbuffs that have been resized to match the MSS provided via skb_shinfo()->gso_size. Before enabling any hardware segmentation offload a corresponding software offload is required in GSO. Otherwise it becomes possible for a frame to be re-routed between devices and end up being unable to be transmitted. :abbr:`GRO (Generic receive offload)` is the complement to GSO. Ideally any frame assembled by GRO should be segmented to create an identical sequence of frames using GSO, and any sequence of frames segmented by GSO should be able to be reassembled back to the original by GRO. The only exception to this is IPv4 ID in the case that the DF bit is set for a given IP header. If the value of the IPv4 ID is not sequentially incrementing it will be altered so that it is when a frame assembled via GRO is segmented via GSO. :abbr:`RPS (Receive Packet Steering)` is logically a software implementation of :abbr:`RSS (Receive Side Scaling)`. Being in software, it is necessarily called later in the datapath. Whereas RSS selects the queue and hence CPU that will run the hardware interrupt handler, RPS selects the CPU to perform protocol processing above the interrupt handler. This is accomplished by placing the packet on the desired CPU's backlog queue and waking up the CPU for processing. RPS has some advantages over RSS: - it can be used with any NIC, - software filters can easily be added to hash over new protocols, - it does not increase hardware device interrupt rate (although it does introduce inter-processor interrupts (IPIs)). .. note:: In order to use TSO/LRO with VMXNET3 adaters one must also enable the SG offloading option.
