Finding a more recent Mellanox release note,

b. Windows 2008 and Windows 2008-R2:
	- Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters:
	 *      SackOpts, type REG_DWORD, value set to 0.

	- Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters:
	 *	FastSendDatagramThreshold,  type REG_DWORD, value set to 64K.

	- Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ndis\Parameters:
	 *      RssBaseCpu, type REG_DWORD, value set to 1.
	 *      MaxNumRssCpus, type REG_DWORD, value set to 2.

	Enabling Receive Side Scaling (RSS) is performed by means of the following
	command:
	"netsh int tcp set global rss = enabled"

	Disable the time stamps on both sides. This is performed by means of the
	following command:
	"netsh int tcp set global timestamps=disabled"

	The following services are disabled:
	*       "Base Filtering Engine (BFE)" 	*    "Windows Firewall (MpsSvc)"

This allows scaling to 36,000 packets-per-second (pps) and improves
latency and jitter for all test speeds.
