No doubt check summing support's been around for a while, ASIC Md5 is dirt cheap. Yes VMware shipped with it about a decade ago in ESXi but that was dependent on host NIC support. OSX may ship with the driver support but I'm having trouble finding hardware specs to verify hardware support. I said "not super standard" and "customer grade" I didn't say it wasn't supported at all.
As to the specific subset; TCP Segmentation Offload. As was mentioned in the article.
- acdha 7y ago> As was mentioned in the article. Yes, I know. I was asking for clarification on the off chance that you were describing something which didn’t ship a decade ago. I first used TSO on servers in the early 2000s and by 2010 even the consumer-grade hardware I was seeing had it.
