About Microsoft Windows Server 2003 scalable networking pack

The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) contains functionality for
offloading TCP network processing to hardware. TCP Chimney is a feature that allows TCP/IP
processing to be offloaded to hardware. Receive Side Scaling allows receive packet processing
to scale across multiple CPUs.
HP's NC3xxx Multifunction Gigabit server adapters support TCP offload functionality using
Microsoft's Scalable Networking Pack (SNP).
For more support details, read the latest HP adapter information for more support details.
To download the SNP package and for more details see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912222.
NOTE: Windows Server 2003 SP2 includes SNP functionality.
