>From my reading of the thread, there is resistence to 
TOE in general. The patch is just the messenger. The principle 
opponent is Dave Miller who strongly believes that stateless
acceleration such as TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) suffices for 
all needs. Ironically, this requires a much higher level of stack 
integration than TOE does.

TOE for the purposes of RDMA may have more legs within the 
community, however, this has yet to be tested.
