I had to look at this for an unrelated project, and its clear that chipset is for router/firewall use. The endstation features of the chip don't include very basic offloads like TSO.

For anyone else who does not know what TSO stands for, it is TCP segmentation offload.

The only TSO that came to my mind was IBM's Time Sharing Option, which is part of z/OS and has been part of their mainframe OSs since the 360.

It was obviously a poor match for the context ;-)

I'm all in for misusing server chips to build workstations, but the feature match is not great here.

While the board is advertising itself as a workstation, wouldn't it be easy to use it as a server?

If you scroll down on the page they sell a server that has two Honeycombs in 1U.

It looks like a good match for a small server, better than a workstation.
