Leading 10/40 GbE Performance
Optimized performance vectors (and key uses) include:
• Small Packet Performance: Maintains wire-rate throughput on smaller
payload sizes (>128 bytes for 40GbE and 4x10GbE mode)
• Bulk Transfer Performance: Delivers line-rate performance with low CPU
usage for large application buffers
• Virtualized Performance: Alleviates hypervisor I/O bottlenecks by
providing flow separation for Virtual Machines (VMs)
• Network Virtualization: Network virtualization overlay offloads including
VXLAN, NVGRE, and Geneve
