I should also mention that in addition to being the first to market with 100GbE NICS, Mellanox has been just phenomenal to work with. The RSS assisted LRO mentioned in the blog is just one example of the help they've given us. They have also driven the adoption of hardware packet pacing into FreeBSD, as well as NIC queue backpressure, and a few other things we're currently working on. They've been a huge help to FreeBSD networking.

>" They have also driven the adoption of hardware packet pacing into FreeBSD, as well as NIC queue backpressure," Could you elaborate these? What is "packet pacing" I am not familiar with this term. Also how does the NIC queue backpressure work? I don't see references to these in the post. Thanks.
