NVIDIA Networking

The NVIDIA Networking function configures and controls NVIDIA
networking hardware integrated into the NVIDIA MCP. In addition to the
typical network configuration functions that are controlled using the Windows
Network Connections panel, the NVIDIA networking solution includes several
key features that are accessed using the NVIDIA control panel.

FirstPacket
FirstPacket provides a better gaming experience over a broadband connection
when multiple applications on the same PC are simultaneously transmitting
data to the Internet

TCP/IP Acceleration
When TCP/IP acceleration is enabled, it lowers the CPU utilization and
provides overall better system performance when the networking traffic is
mainly TCP/IP.
