Introduction
SMC’s TigerCard 1000 network interface card is a Gigabit Ethernet
card for PCI local bus compliant computers. Operating under the
1000BASE-SX short-wavelength laser specification, this adapter
provides up to ten times the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet over
multimode fiber links. A true plug-and-play device, this card is
auto-configurable upon power up and supports advanced features
such as VLAN tagging, QoS priority queuing, and full-duplex flow
control. Leading-edge ASIC technology and performance-
enhancing techniques maximize throughput and minimize CPU
utilization. The result is a network card that delivers the
performance and reliability demanded by today’s high-end servers
and workstations.
