The Set-NetAdapterRss cmdlet sets the receive side scaling (RSS) properties on the network adapter. RSS is a scalability technology that distributes the receive netwo
rk traffic among multiple processors by hashing the header of the incoming packet. Without RSS in Windows Server® 2008, Windows Server® 2008 R2, and Windows Server® 2
012; network traffic is received on the first processor which can quickly reach full utilization limiting receive network throughput. Many properties can be configure
d using the parameters to optimize the performance of RSS. The selection of the processors to use for RSS is an important aspect of load balancing. Most of the parame
ters for this cmdlet help to determine the processors used by RSS. A thorough understanding of RSS is recommended before modifying individual parameters. Selecting th
e correct profile should be sufficient in most scenarios.

EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Set-NetAdapterRss –Name "Ethernet" -Profile NUMAStatic
This example sets an RSS profile for a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) server without dynamic load balancing.
