Hi,
I'm reading (almost) all mailing emails in mailig list...

Almost every / many problem in network performancr / packets loss ended up
suggesting disabling TSO.

I wonder why.. Is it a bug in the implementation? Or bybdesign?
What are the usecases that TSO is needed? Myabe  it should be disabled bt
default?

Thanks in advance,
Sami
