Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I210

Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter designed for entry-level servers and Audio-Video applications.

Overview

The new Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter

I210 builds on Intel’s history of excellence

in Ethernet products. Intel continues its

market leadership with this newest gen-

eration PCIe* GbE network adapter. Based

on the Intel® Ethernet Controller I210, this

adapter represents the next step in the

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking evolu-

tion for the enterprise and data center

offering Audio-Video-Bridging (AVB) sup-

port, along with power management tech-

nologies such as Energy Efcient Ethernet

(EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC).

Audio-Video Bridging (AVB)

The Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I210

supports IEEE 802.1Qav Audio-Video

Bridging (AVB) for customers requiring

tightly controlled media stream synchro-

nization, buffering, and reservation. The

802.1Qav is part of the AVB specication

that provides a way to guarantee bounded

latency and latency variation for time

sensitive trafc and includes:

• Timing and Synchronization for time-

specic applications (802.1AS) Stream

Reservation (SR) protocol to guarantee

the resources needed for Audio/Video

(AV) streams (802.1Qat)

• Forwarding and queueing enhancements

for time sensitive streams (802.1Qav).

Performance Optimization

The Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I210

contains four transmit and four receive

queues. These queues offer Error Correct-

ing Memory (ECC) protection for improved

data reliability. The adapter efciently

manages packets with minimum latency

by combining parallel and pipelined logic

architectures optimized for these inde-

pendent transmit and receive queues.

These queues, combined with Receive

Side Scaling (RSS) and Message Signal

Interrupt Extension (MSI-X) support,

optimize the performance on servers with

multi-core processors.
