FEATURES BENEFITS
Virtual NIC support The core of SMC’s technology. Protected VNIC interfaces can be instantiated for each run-
ning guest operating system or application, giving it a direct pipeline to the Ethernet network.
This architecture provides the most efficient way to maximize network and CPU efficiency.
The SMC Ethernet controller supports up to 4096 VNIC interfaces.
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.
Stateless Offloads TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) for IPv4.
Plug-and-play Provides binary compatibility with all data center and HPC applications.
Jumbo frame support (9K) Smaller per packet overhead, increased network utilization.
MSI MSI support enables 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 which provides
this functionality.
IP flow filtering Enables the hardware to steer packets based on IP, TCP and UDP header contents.
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.
PCI Express 1.1 x8 Host Bus Interface Provide maximum host bus bandwidth.
