About this tag
The tag 'offloaded connections' refers to TCP connections that are offloaded to a network adapter for processing, a feature in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. A known issue involves the SACK (Selective Acknowledgment) option being incorrectly set to 'true' for offloaded connections even when the adapter does not support it. This behavior can affect network performance and reliability. A hotfix is available to address this problem, ensuring that the SACK option is only enabled when the adapter supports it. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover this specific bug and its resolution, providing guidance for users experiencing related network issues.
