The summary for that reports: QUOTE This update adds support for: HW VLAN tagging HW checksum offload for IPv4 and IPv6 tx and rx aggreegation (for full gige speeds) multiple transactions In my testing, I am able to get 900-950Mbps depending upon TCP or UDP, which is a significant improvement over the previous 91Mbps (~8kint/sec*1500bytes/packet*1packet/int).
