Features

  • TCP Chimney Offload – providing seamlessly integrated support for network adapters with TCP offload engines (TOE)
  • Receive-side Scaling – dynamically load-balances inbound network connections across multiple processors or cores
  • NetDMA – enables support for advanced direct memory access technologies, such as Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT)
