atlantic hardware does support UDP hardware segmentation offload. This allows user to specify one large contiguous buffer with data which then will be split automagically into multiple UDP packets of specified size. Bulk sending of large UDP streams lowers CPU usage and increases bandwidth. We did estimations both with udpgso_bench_tx test tool and with modified iperf3 measurement tool (4 streams, multithread, 200b packet size) over AQC<->AQC 10G link. Flow control is disabled to prevent RX side impact on measurements.

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 Restructured Text 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.
