Which of the following is one advantage of using TOE?

TOE operates at the transport layer and does not directly impact routing complexity, which is a network layer function.

While TOE often works well with jumbo frames due to reduced overhead, it does not require their use; they are independent features.

A TCP Offload Engine (TOE) is a technology found in network interface cards (NICs) that offloads the processing of the entire TCP/IP stack from the host CPU to the NIC's dedicated processor. By handling tasks like TCP segmentation, reassembly, and checksum calculations, TOE frees up the server's main CPU resources, leading to decreased CPU utilization.

TOE typically aims to increase effective network throughput and efficiency by reducing CPU overhead, not decrease it.
