Offload by Segment
Statistics are transmitted over the Internet in segments of 1,448 bytes per packet, paired with TCP, IP, and statistics link layer headers. Traditionally, the CPU would prepare the statistics by segment in advance and prepare the data files in advance. For example, moving a specific block of 63,536 bytes would require the CPU to create and upload at least 31 data files.
If the network adapter addresses offload by segment, the CPU can send all statistics segments to the network adapter. This technique is often called TCP Segment Offload (TSO) or Large Segment Offload (LSO).
