Communication protocols such as TCP and UDP implement checksum fields, which help determine the integrity of data transmitted over a network. The most widespread use of Ethernet is to encapsulate TCP and UDP over IP datagrams. Therefore, the MAC has an optional Checksum Offload Engine (COE) to support checksum calculation and insertion in the Transmit path, and error detection in the Receive path.
The TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) engine is useful in offloading the TCP segmentation functions to the hardware.
