Hi Folks, Thanks Christian for explaining how GSO/GRO are used by Quic implementations. So the use is not mandated in Quic RFCs but rather used in implementations. I found this presentation by Intel: https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/06/GRO-GSO-Libraries-Bring-Significant-Performance-Gains-to-DPDK-based-Applications.pdf way back in 2017 quite useful. So what I understand is GSO/GRO were originally used by TCP/UDP and Quic implementations use UDP GSO/GRO because of Quic is UDP based.
