TCP Chimney Offload

TCP Chimney Offload is Microsoft's software implementation that directly supports TCP Offload Engine (TOE) NICs. The subject of TOE is discussed later in this chapter, in the section "Network Interface Cards." TCP Chimney Offload, when combined with a Microsoft-approved TOE, allows for a stateful offload of traffic from the operating system to the TOE NIC. This mitigates the need for the server CPU to spend cycles managing TCP connections. Instead, it can focus on application-centric efforts such as serving web pages, files, or database content.
