Overview:

This whitepaper examines the multiple generations of TCP Offload engines which have appeared as point solutions since the invention of workstation architecture in the late 1980s. It shows that the last two generations of TCP Offload have been driven by the desire to handle a link-speed upshift in Ethernet, yet paradoxically the emergence of the high-volume Ethernet data-centre market at 1Gb/s and 10Gb/s speeds has been based on twistedpair copper physical layer technologies. The timing of the emerging high-volume 1000BASE-T and 10GBASET markets has rendered both generations of TCP Offload products obsolete without their reaching any level of maturity.
