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.
