Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2009:1243 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 kernel security and bug fix update 2009-09-01 08:53:34 UTC

Description Herbert Xu 2009-05-06 09:34:52 UTC 
In order to boost virtualisation performance on 10GbE (and 10GbE performance in general), we need to add GRO support (analogous to GSO support on egress).
