In a virtualized environment, packets 
dedicated to different virtual machines 
can be routed to different queues, thus 
easing the routing of these packets to 
the target machine
Advanced packet filtering (per port) 
•   16 exact-matched packets  
(unicast or multicast) 
•   4096-bit hash filter for  
multicast frames 
•   Promiscuous (unicast and multicast) 
transfer mode support 
•   Optional filtering of invalid frames 
Direct Cache Access (DCA)
The I/O device activates a pre-fetch 
engine in the CPU that loads the data 
into the CPU cache ahead of time, 
before use, eliminating cache misses 
and reducing CPU load
