Additional Details

The BCM57810SA01 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller that delivers exceptional performance and features for high-performance server and networking applications. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface provides ample bandwidth for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports various offload features, including TCP/IP checksum offload, TSO, and LSO, which significantly reduce the processing burden on the host CPU. VMDq support enhances virtualization performance by directing network traffic to specific virtual machines. iSCSI and FCoE support enables the consolidation of networking and storage traffic over a single network infrastructure. RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) enables low-latency communication for demanding HPC and storage applications. Jumbo frame support allows for larger Ethernet frames, further increasing network throughput. Detailed specifications regarding power consumption, operating temperature range, and supported operating systems can be found in the product datasheet.
