Hi @all,
I have been searching for a while if there is any option for TCP Checksum Offload on the level of physical network adapters or the VMkernel?
I know that there is a possibility to turn it of and on in virtual machines with a VMXNET 2 or 3 adapter.
As I found the following sentence on this website http://thefoglite.com/2012/08/22/tune-esxi-host-networking-configuration/ I am curious if this service is really supported.
"By using the latest and greatest physical network adapters in ESXi hosts, an administrator is able to take advantage of a variety of performance and offloading enhancements including:
TCP Checksum Offload- Checksum operations of network packets performed by the network adapter."
I would be really thankful and glad if someone can help me on this issue because I need the answer in my master thesis which should be finished by next week.
Thanks
Florian
