`The industry oonsensus was that prior attempts at “TCP offload [have]
`
`repeatedly failed.” (Ex. 2041, 2.) Moreover, the prevailing analysis was that the
`
`“repeated” failure of TCP offload was the result of the “complexities of deploying
`
`TCP offload in practice.” Id. 1While stating that “it might appear _
`
`_
`
`_ that TCP
`
`offload is inherently useless,” Mogul concluded “flint past attempts to employ TCP
`
`offload were mismatched to the applications in question-” (Iii, E1 2026, 1 152.)
`
`The TCP offload described above is aform ofnetwork processing offload that is
