Description

Disabled is used for non-compliant switches. Enabled requires that the

attached network device fully complies with 802.3ab.

Specifies the amount of time between adapter interrupts. Under normal

operation, the adapter generates an interrupt every time a frame is

received. Reducing the number of interrupts improves CPU utilization.

Enables sending larger Ethernet packets on Gigabit. Jumbo Frames can

increase throughput and decrease CPU utilization by putting more data

in each packet, thereby sending out fewer packets.

Jumbo Frames are not a part of the IEEE standard and can be used only

if supported by the other network equipment.

Allows you to change the network address.

Duplex is a performance option that lets you choose how the card

transmits and receives packets over the network.

When enabled, this option allows the card to verify the IP checksum of

incoming packets.This will improve IP receive performance by offloading

this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)

When enabled, this option allows the card to verify the TCP checksum

of incoming packets.This will improve TCP receive performance by
