    Even if the HCA does support SRQ, the administrator can force the driver to not
    use SRQs. This can be done by setting the module parameter "set_nonsrq".
 6. This version of ofed introduces improvements to IPOIB by cutting the CPU
-   overhead in handling both send and receive packets. This will improve operation
-   in different modes of operation but the change is mostly noticeable for small
-   UDP message were message rate has increased.

-   Stateless offload features have been introduced:
-   checksum offload - generate on send and verify on receive of packet checksum
-   Large Send Offload - support fragmenting a large quantity of data passed form the
-   TCP/IP stack and fragment it to MSS sized packets.
-7. Support for interrupt moderation was introduced. This is done for HCAs which
-   support this feature (like Mellanox's mlx4). Controlling moderation params is
-   done through the ethtool interface.

-   ethtool -c ib0
-   will display the parameters for ib0. Two kinds of parameters are supported:
-   rx-usecs, tx_usecs and rx-frames, tx_frames - value for rx and tx are identical.
-   To change a value you need to do:
-   ethtool -C ib0 rx-usecs <new val>
-   This will change both rx_usecs and tx_usecs for ib0.
-
-   The semantics of the parameters is this: an EQE will be pushed to the event queue
-   if any of the conditions have been met - *-usecs have elapsed or *-frames were
-   received since the last time an EQE was generated. Using this helps reduce
-   interrupt rate generated by the device.
-8. 4K mtu support has been introduced. In order to benefit from using 4K mtu it is
-   required that the SM create the broadcast group with 4K MTU. See SM
-   documentation for details.
+   overhead in handling receive packets. This will improve operation
+   in datagram mode:
 
+   Large Receive Offload - aggregating multiple incoming packets from a single
+   stream into a larger buffer before they are passed higher up the networking
+   stack, thus reducing the number of packets that have to be processed.
 
 Usage and configuration:
