DESCRIPTION


The Enable-NetAdapterLso cmdlet enables the state of the large send offload (LSO) settings, such as LSOv4 and LSOv6, on the network adapter.
If neither LSOv4 or LSOv6 is specified, then both LSOv4 and LSOv6 are enabled. LSO is a technology in which the work of segmenting data into
network frames is performed by the network adapter instead of by the TCP/IP stack. With LSO, TCP/IP sends very large data packets down to the
network adapter driver and the network adapter hardware. The network adapter separates the data into smaller network-sized frames. This
increases the speed of high-end send operations and decreases the processor usage of the computer, because the work is performed on the
network adapter. To enable just LSOv4 or LSOv6, run the Set-NetAdapterLso cmdlet.

Examples


EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterLso –Name *



This example enables LSO for both IPv4 and IPv6 on all visible network adapters and restarts the network adapters.




EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Enable-NetAdapterLso –Name * -IPv4 -IPv6



This example enables LSO for both IPv4 and IPv6 on all visible network adapters by explicitly specifying the parameters and then restarts the
network adapters.
