Scalable Networking Pack

Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) is a set of additions that adds new features to Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later with architectural enhancements and APIs to support the new capabilities of network acceleration and hardware-based offload technologies.[1]

Features

  • TCP chimney offload  provides seamlessly integrated support for network adapters with TCP offload engines (TOE)
  • Receive-side scaling  dynamically load-balances inbound network connections across multiple processors or cores
  • NetDMA  enables support for advanced direct memory access technologies, such as Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT)
