82598 10 Gb Ethernet Controller
The Intel
®
82598EB 10 Gb Ethernet Controller is a single, compact component with two fully
integrated 10 Gb Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and XAUI ports.
The Intel
®
82598EB is a follow-on design to the prior generations of Intel
®
1Gbit, 10 Gbit
Ethernet controllers. It provides new features and retains many of its predecessors’ features.
The Intel
®
82598EB supports X8 PCI-Express Gen2 connection and I/OAT V2.0 (Input/Output
Acceleration Technology). These give the device a high-performance and low-host memory
access latency feature. In addition, the wide internal data path eliminates performance
bottlenecks by efficiently handling large address and data words. The parallel and pipelined
logic combined architecture is optimized for Ethernet and independent transmit and receive
queues, this means the 82598EB can process the packet with minimum latency. To further
optimize the latency from system level, the PCI-Express* x8 interface is connected to IOH
directly.
