UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4 and IPv6)

This setting allows the adapter to verify the UDP checksum of incoming packets and compute the UDP checksum of outgoing packets. This feature enhances receive and transmit performance and reduces CPU utilization.

With Offloading off, the operating system verifies the UDP checksum.

With Offloading on, the adapter completes the verification for the operating system.

To change this setting in Intel® PROSet:

This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the device’s Device Manager property sheet or in the Adapter Settings panel in Intel® PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility (Intel® PROSet ACU).

To change this setting in Windows PowerShell*, use the Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting cmdlet. For example:

Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting -Name "<adapter_name>" -DisplayName "UDP Checksum Offload
(IPv4)" -DisplayValue "Tx Enabled"

Possible values for this setting are:

• Disabled

• RX Enabled

• TX Enabled

• RX & TX Enabled
