   are there any standards in progress to support this.

Your question makes no sense, it is a hardware optimization
of an existing standard.  The chip merely is told what flows
exist and it concatenates TCP data from consequetive packets
for that flow if they arrive in sequence.

Hrm. Again, the big Q:
How "thmart" is this NIC going to be (think congestion control and
the du-jour flavor).
