Performance Features:

• 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). machine
• SCTP receive and transmit checksum offload
• Packet interrupt coalescing timers (packet timers) and absolute-delay interrupt timers for both transmit and receive operation
• EEE ( IEEE 802.3az) for reduced power consumption during low link utilization periods

Copper Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T :

• Independently copper Gigabit Ethernet channels support four Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T), Fast Ethernet (100Base-Tx) and Ethernet (10Base-T)
• Triple speed 1000Mbps (1000Base-T), 100 Mbps (100Base-Tx) and 10 Mbps (100Base-T) operation
• Nway auto negotiation automatic sensing and switching between 1Gbps full duplex and 100 / 10 Mbps operations Simplex or Full Duplex.
• 2 X RJ-45 female connectors

Common Key features:

• Support PCI 2.0
• High performance, reliability, and low power use in Intel 82546 Dual integrated MAC + PHY and SERDES chip Controllers
