Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack

The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) includes the TCP Chimney
feature, which allows TCP network processing to be off-loaded to hardware. SNP also includes the
Receive Side Scaling feature, which allows receive packet processing to scale across multiple CPUs.
The HP NC3xxx Multifunction Gigabit server adapters use SNP to support TCP off-load functionality.
