摘要： In one embodiment, to determine what tasks may be offloaded to a peripheral hardware device (e.g., to be performed in hardware on the peripheral device, rather than on the CPU(s) of the host computer), an indication from the at least one peripheral hardware device may be provided, without the peripheral hardware device first being queried to determine the task offload capabilities provided by the peripheral hardware device. The peripheral hardware device may be capable of handling multiple task offloads on the same packet. For example, the peripheral device may be capable of performing large packet segmentation and encryption on the same packet. The peripheral device may also be capable of performing encryption and checksum calculation on the same packet.
