Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why IPSEC should have to disable TSO at all. Of course encrypted packets won't be able to take advantage of TSO, but by the time they reach the NIC, they're not TCP anymore. They're IP protocol 50 (ESP). Shouldn't TSO simply be ignoring protocols other than TCP? Craig
