SUMMARY
The IP version 6 stack in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 do not support hardware offload or jumbo gigabit ethernet frames. When you use hardware offload or jumbo frames with gigabit ethernet, the IP version 4 stack performs better than the IP version 6 stack.

Additional query words: performance, slow
