I was on Greg Chesson's XTP TAB and did further optimization with CRC trailer protocol with outboard XTP LAN chip where CRC was calculated as the packet flowed through and added/checked it in the trailor. Also allowed for no buffer copy with scatter/gather (aka doing packet I/O directly from user memory). -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970
