Interrupt Coalescing
Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This
process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
IPv6
IPv6 uses 128
-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet. IPv4 supported 32-bit addressing.
iWARP
Delivers RDMA on top of the pervasive TCP/IP protocol. iWARP RDMA runs over standard network and transport layers and works
with all Ethernet network infrastructure. TCP provides flow control and congestion management and does not require a lossless
Ethern
et network. iWARP is a highly routable and scalable RDMA implementation.
Jumbo Frames
This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,600 byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU)
when running Ethernet I/O traffic.
This is over five times the size of a standard 1500-
byte Ethernet frame. With Jumbo Frames, networks
can achieve higher throughput performance and greater CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer
and tape backup opera
tions.
LED Indicators
LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting.
Load Balancing
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch
-
assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features that customers can use to build
a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port
-bonding techniques enable users to install up to four dual-
port HPE
361T adapters (total of 8 ports) in a HPE ProLiant server and aggregate their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of 16 Gi
gab
its
per second full
-duplex transmissions.
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended)(MSI-X)
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi
-
core servers by load balancing interrupts between
CPUs/cores.
Network Adapter Teaming
This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth, the
team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter, providing support for several different types of teaming enabling IT
administrators to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT)
Network Fault Tolerance, sometimes called "failover" or "NIC Redundancy," allows for the installation of multiple server adapters so that
the active device can be backed up by a redundant adapter to improve availability. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise teaming utility also
allows users to specify that when a failed adapter is fixed and replaced, the original adapter resumes its function as the primary network
connection.
Network Partitioning (NPAR)
This adapter supports Network Partitioning (NPAR) allowing administrators to configure a 10 Gb port as four separate partitions or
physical functions. Each PCI function is associated with a different virtual NIC. To the OS and the network, each physical function
appears as a separate NIC port.
Optimized for Virtualization
I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ helps meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual
workloads.
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Support for PXE enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to
boot over the network and download software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another
l
ocation on the network.
Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting and repairs.
