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 ;-)
