

TSO interleaving for reduced latency



Minimized device I/O interrupts using MSI and MSI-X



UDP, TCP and IP checksum offload



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

Copper Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T :



Support PCI Express Base Specification 2.0 (5 GTs)



High performance, reliability, and low power use in Intel 82580 Dual 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



Server class reliability, availability and performance features:



Link Aggregation and Load Balancing:

o

Switch dependent: 802.3ad (LACP), Generic Trunking ( GEC / FEC)

o

Switch and NIC Independent

o

Failover



Priority queuing

– 802.1p layer 2 priority encoding



Virtual LANs

–802.1q VLAN tagging



Jumbo Frame (9.5KB)



802.x flow control



Multicast/ broadcast Packet replication


