Just for the record, Jim's message ended with: --- It’s possible, if everything else is right, then IP checksum offload can provide a modest performance improvement, but this is unlikely to be more than “noticeable” at the speeds where most individuals run pfSense. However, at 10Gbps (or above), these engines become quite useful. Support for these is an important component of our “3.0” effort. In case it’s not clear by now, these settings are all *disabled* by default in pfSense. --- It sounds like the "all disabled" setting would be the "safest" and, for all but the high-volume installs, offer essentially the same performance. I'll update/resend the request to the email address for whomever updates the WiKi. Regardless, Jim's explanation helped (some of) us better understand these settings. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
