Dear Mr Ben Hutchings, 

 

I have read your answer about question "State of TCP segmentation
offload to NIC in linux". 

The link is
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2008/5/7/1757954/thread

Please direct your queries to the netdev list, not to me personally.

I am now writing network device driver that support TSO function. But
when I send one packet with 64K, then TCP has divided 64K, not passed
the whole 64K to NIC driver.

[...]

I think you won't see 64K packets for a TCP connection that was just
opened, due to the slow start algorithm.

Ben.
