3.4.3.1 PCIe GbE Ethernet

Two PCIe lanes are connected to two Realtek RTL8111C PCIe GbE controllers. The

Realtek RTL8111C PCIe GbE controllers combine a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant

Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, 32-bit PCIe bus

controller, and embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode

signal technology, they offer high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3

UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction,

polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing

recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and

reception capability at high speeds.

Some of the features of the Realtek RTL8111CP PCIe GbE controllers are listed below.
