TCP SACK option is always set to "true" after you enable the TCP/IP Offloading feature in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You enable the TCP/IP Offloading feature on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • A network adapter that supports TCP/IP Offloading is installed on the computer.
  • The network adapter does not support the TCP Selective Acknowledgements (SACK) option.
In this scenario, the TCP SACK option for offloaded TCP connections on the network adapter is always set to true. Therefore, you experience poor performance in busy network environments.
