TCP offload is a technique to improve TCP/IP networking performance of a network computer system by moving (parts of) TCP processing from the host processor to the network interface. There are several ways to achieve offload. The typical full offload moves all TCP functionalities to the network interface, and TCP processing is performed exclusively on the network interface. However, when the network interface has limited processing power, full...

Dealing with Endogeneity in Regression Models with Dynamic Coefficients presents a unified econometric framework for dealing with the issues of endogeneity in Markov-switching models and time-varying parameter models. While others have considered estimation of simultaneous equations models with stochastic coefficients as a system, we focus on the LIML (limited information maximum likelihood) estimation of a single equation of interest out of a...
