Introduction to TCP Offload Engines

Overview By implementing a TCP Offload Engine (TOE) in high-speed computing environments, administrators can help relieve network bottlenecks and improve application performance. This paper introduces the concept of TOEs, explains how TOEs interact with the TCP/IP stack, and discusses potential performance advantages of implementing TOEs on specialized network adapters versus processing the standard TCP/IP protocol suite on the host CPU.
