Advanced Features

1-2

IP/UDP/TCP Checksum Offload – Calculation and validation for the checksums

found in IP, TCP and UDP headers. This feature saves a significant amount of
valuable CPU cycles.

Transmit Rate Pacing (per queue) – Provides a mechanism for enforcing

bandwidth quotas across all guest operating systems. Software re-programmable
on-the-fly to allow for adjustment as congestion increases on the network.

Jumbo Frame Rate (9K) – Smaller per packet overhead, increased network

utilization.

MSI and MSI-X – Both MSI and MSI-X support enable higher levels of performance

on both legacy and up-to-date systems.

Remote Boot – Support for Etherboot, PXE boot, and Linux® BIOS provides

flexibility in cluster design and diskless servers. A small programmable on-board
ROM contains the boot code that provides this functionality.

IP Flow Filtering – Enables the hardware to steer packets based on IP, TCP, and

UDP header contents.
