Yes, I am aware that GSO can take action and so software segmentation is / can be done when the HW isn't capable of doing so (and I assume the same can go for checksum). I assume that by "we provide" you mean the core networking code, correct? in what level? I assume its not the TCP one, since this is not applicable a tun/bridge scheme. Simper example would be the vm nic MTU... with vhost attached directly to a nic with packet socket you can learn/control it all, where when tun/bridge is used, how can you tell?
Or.
