Subject: user space checksum
Date: Sun, 22 May 2005 09:51:48 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1116744708.3021.12.camel@raz-laptop> (raw)

I do not know if this was ever suggested.so i'll try any way.
Why not give the user the chance to supply the kernel/card with the
checksums instead of having the kernel/network card do the work ? 
This is because a user is aware to the data he sends and he can optimize
the data checksum calculations more than anyone else. for instance a web
server sends its html pages, which are static data. it can pre-calculate
the checksums.

Anyone ?
