ENETC rev 4.1 supports large send offload (LSO), segmenting large TCP and UDP transmit units into multiple Ethernet frames. To support LSO, software needs to fill some auxiliary information in Tx BD, such as LSO header length, frame length, LSO maximum segment size, etc. At 1Gbps link rate, TCP segmentation was tested using iperf3, and the CPU performance before and after applying the patch was compared through the top command. It can be seen that LSO saves a significant amount of CPU cycles compared to software TSO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
