For me a positive would be, not having to bounce the osa cards at Ipl. Can we say overconfidence? After I get the microcode I would try it. ITTIQDIO OSA CODE LEVEL = D55K OSAE690P OSA CODE LEVEL = 0026

Microcode was made available in April to fix the offload code. We are now at this new microcode level and are considering re-enabling the offload functionality. We are aware of APAR PK64756. Has anyone experienced any problems after re-enabling Segmentation Offload? Any recommendations on the best way to measure the positive performance impact that segmentation offload provides to TCP/IP (CPU, storage, etc.)?
