I/O Acceleration Technology Nics

I/O Acceleration Technology Nics

[Ian Brown]

Hello,
  I came across the e1000 download for linux in intel site.
I saw that in the readme they talk about Intel(R) I/O Acceleration Technology;
According to this readme , there is support for "systems using the
Intel(R) 5000 Series
Chipsets Integrated Device - 1A38".
see:
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/df-support/9180/ENG/README.txt

My question is : did anybody tried using chipsets with this I/O
Acceleration Technology ?  Did he get a significant performance
improvement over non
I/O Accelerated nics ?
Regards,
Ian

IIRC, there were some measures made and discussed at least a little in 
netdev.  A search of the archives should find them.

I would also expect that Intel would have some glossy PDF's on their 
site touting the performance boosts technology :)  They should at least 
somewhere have some links to actual measurements...

I suspect the URL above there will start one on the path to the email 
archive.
