====== Guo-Fu Tseng: Implement and Port Ethernet Drivers for gPXE ======

===== Notes: TCP Window Size and RX Csum Offload Benchmark =====

I've done some benchmark with imgfetch a 500MByte image via HTTP.

The following table shows the result of different TCP_MAX_WINDOW_SIZE
and with or without RX checksum offloading.

Benchmark platform:
  * Server:
    * Processor: Intel(r) Core(tm)2 Quad CPU    Q8400  @ 2.66GHz
    * RAM: 8G DDRII-800
    * MB Chip: G965 (ICH8)
    * NIC: Marvell 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
    * OS: Gentoo (Linux 2.6.33.3)
    * HTTP Server: Lighttpd 1.4.26
  * Client:
    * Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1.8HGz)
    * RAM: 2G DDR400
    * MB Chip: nVidia CK804
    * NIC: JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
    * OS: gPXE latest
