Scott, I am asking to offload basic functionality that Linux supports.
I may be blind-sided and getting frustrated thinking it is obvious
because i live through this stuff everyday; but I am trying all i can
to share what you call proprietary knowledge whenever i can. If you
think of this as "we need to offload all packet processing linux
supports" you'll see where i am coming from.
