I do not forsee there _ever_ being a TOE interface for Linux.
It's not a forbidden discussion, but, the networking developers tend to
ignore people who mention TOE because it's been discussed to death, and
no evidence has ever been presented to prove it has advantages where it
matters, and it has significant _dis_advantages from the get-go.
I really should write an LKML FAQ entry for TOE.
