BCM5701 FEATURES
•
Industry’s first 10/100/1000 MAC/PHY solution
(power and space optimized for LOM and low profile
NIC applications)
•
Completely backward compatible:

•
Performance focused (optimized for throughput and
CPU utilization)
• Adaptive interrupts
• PCI-X eliminates PCI bottlenecks
• Ultra-deep, 96-KB packet buffer lowers CPU utilization and
averts PCI congestion
• CPU task offloads
•
Robust and highly manageable
• PXE 2.0, ACPI 1.1, Wake-on LAN, ASF 1.0
• Integrated cable testing (link quality, length, pair skew, pair
polarity, pair swap)
•
Advanced features
• VLAN, priority queuing, jumbo frames
• RISC processors for advanced packet classification
•
Server-class reliability, availability and performance
features
• Link aggregation and load balancing
- Switch dependent
• 802.3ad (LACP), generic trunking (GEC/FEC)
- Switch and NIC independent
• Smart Load Balancing™ (unique technology that supports
heterogeneous teams, and can operate with any switch)
• Failover
- Smart Load Balancing™ allows heterogeneous failover
• Hot Plug PCI support
•
Low power for zero airflow implementations
• 0.18 µm CMOS design
• Advanced Power Management
•
Space savings for LOM
• 300-pin HBGA package
• No external memory
• Integrated power circuitry
