TCP Offload Adapters
TCP Chimney is the Microsoft Windows Server term for offloading the TCP protocol stack into network interface adapters. Network adapters that support this feature are also known as TCP/IP Offload Engines (TOE). TCP Chimney is an operating system interface to advanced Ethernet network adapters that can completely manage TCP data transfer, including acknowledgement processing and TCP segmentation and reassembly.
Full iSCSI Host Bus Adapters (HBA)
Another approach to use for offloading CPU processing cycles is to combine the iSCSI initiator and the full TCP processing onto one adapter card and perform all these functions in hardware. This work performed for this report used the Microsoft iSCSI software initiator for all examples, so iSCSI HBAs were not used, but many models are supported on Windows Servers.
