TCP/IP Acceleration
When TCP/IP acceleration is enabled and configured properly, most of the TCP/IP
traffic is processed in hardware by the media and communications (MCP) chip. The
advantage this technology offers is that it lowers the CPU utilization, which leads to
overall better system performance since the CPU has more free cycles to focus on
other tasks.

TM
provides an advanced level of outbound network traffic prioritization
for broadband network connections such as DSL and cable modem. When this
feature is enabled and configured properly, you can, among other capabilities,
assign all gaming/VOIP (Voice Over IP) traffic to have a higher priority than file
transfer or peer to peer traffic-leading to faster throughput and lower latency for the
higher priority applications.
