About Microsoft Windows Server 2003 scalable networking pack
The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) contains functionality for
offloading TCP network processing to hardware. TCP Chimney is a feature that allows TCP/IP
processing to be offloaded to hardware. Receive Side Scaling allows receive packet processing
to scale across multiple CPUs.
HP’s NC3xxx Multifunction Gigabit server adapters support TCP offload functionality using
Microsoft’s Scalable Networking Pack (SNP).
