Since local-use addresses can be reused, the Scope ID for link-local addresses specifies the link where the destination is located. The

Scope ID for site-local addresses specifies the site where the destination is located. The Scope ID is relative to the sending host.

IPv6 Flow Info

The non-zero Flow Info is used to classify traffic flows. If Flow Info equals zero, then the packets are not a part of any flow.

network adapters and 1880 fully offloaded TCP connections for 10-Gbps network adapters to the hardware.
iSCSI. iSCSI offload for block-level transfer of data.
LSO. Large Send Offload (LSO) prevents an upper level protocol such as TCP from breaking a large data packet into a series
of smaller packets with headers appended to them.
CO. Checksum Offload (CO) allows the TCP/IP/UDP checksums for send and receive traffic to be calculated by the adapter
hardware rather than by the host CPU.

LiveLink IP Address
