Subject: [PATCH] net: disable GRO by default
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
In many cases GRO improves network performance however it comes at a
cost of chacksums calculations. In case of slow CPU and missing hardware
csum calculation support GRO can actually decrease network speed.
On BCM4708 *disabling* GRO results in following NAT masquarade speed
changes:
1. 364 Mb/s → 396 Mb/s (packet steering disabled)
2. 341 Mb/s → 566 Mb/s (packet steering enabled)
