Agreed. Having checksum and TSO settings tunable at runtime is highly useful when doing benchmarking/debugging. Thus, being able to advertise to the stack when your settings have changed and having it re-sample them would be very desirable. The mechanism for manipulating checksum offload and TSO settings could be entirely driver private though - I see no need to have to standardize this. A private linkprop would be fine for this (although it would be nice if private linkprops were listed by 'dladm show-linkprop'). Paul
