Hi everyone, I'm new to the list, but have experience coding games
and networking (especially networking code).
My question for the group is this: what features would be useful to
gamers/game servers in an ADVANCED NETWORK PROCESSING Network Card
(NIC)?
Would TCP/IP Offload be of benefit? (my thought is not much, since
most games are UDP)...
What about a UDP/IP Offload engine? (for example:) what if all it
did was hardware support for IP REASSEMBLY?
Any other ideas for features in such a product? e.g. what do gamers
want in a networking card?
Also, I'm trying to reach a contact or two at a MMORPG and/or
network game dev. company to ask them this question as well.
Thanks,
Harlan
