

UDP and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO).



SCTP receive and transmit checksum offload.



Packet interrupt coalescing timers (packet timers) and absolute- delay interrupt timers for both transmit and receive operation.

Common Key features:



PCI Express ExpressModule Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0



Support PCI Express Base Specification 2.0 (5 GTs)



High performance, reliability, and low power use in Intel 82580 Quad integrated MAC + PHY and SERDES chip Controllers.



Ultra deep, packet buffer per channel lowers CPU utilization.



Hardware acceleration that can offload tasks from the host processor. The Controllers can offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum

calculations and TCP segmentation


