Other hardware-assisted offloading technologies
There are a number of other available technologies, but these provide fewer benefits in a Hyper-V environment and some have caused problems in some situations. Remember that manufacturers may use somewhat different names for these features. Furthermore, the technologies as presented are often broken down into sub-types on the actual adapters. For instance, an adapter may allow you to enable checksum offloading for TCP/IP Version 4 packets independently from TCP/IP Version 6 packets. The features that can be set using the previous instructions for changing advanced adapter settings are as follows:
Checksum Offload: A simple data verification process called a checksum is computed on each packet. This setting offloads that process from the CPU to the network adapter, if it supports it. You can offload all traffic or choose between transmitted or received traffic only.
Large Send Offload (LSO): When data to be transmitted exceeds the maximum transmission...
