This technology is best suited for applications that demand the 
highest I/O throughput and lowest-latency performance such as 
database, storage, and financial applications.
The PCI-SIG SR-IOV capability is a mechanism for devices to 
advertise their ability to be directly assigned to multiple virtual 
machines. This technology enables the partitioning of a PCI func-
tion into many virtual interfaces for the purpose of sharing the 
resources of a PCI Express* (PCIe) device in a virtual environment. 
These virtual interfaces are called Virtual Functions. Each virtual 
function can support a unique and separate data path for I/O-
related functions within the PCI Express hierarchy. Use of SR-IOV 
with a networking device, for example, allows the bandwidth 
of a single port (function) to be partitioned into smaller slices 
that may be allocated to specific VMs, or guests, via a standard 
interface.
End-to-end Wired Security
The Intel
®
 Gigabit ET, ET2, and EF Multi-Port Server Adapters are 
Intel’s first PCIe adapters to provide authentication and encryp-
tion for IPsec and LinkSec. LinkSec is already designed into the 
network adapter hardware. These adapters are future-proof and 
prepared to provide LinkSec functionality when the ecosystem 
supports this new technology.  
IPsec provides data protection between the end-point devices 
of a network communication session. The IPsec offload feature 
is designed to offload authentication and encryption of some 
types of IPsec traffic and still delivers near line-rate throughput 
and reduced CPU utilization.
LinkSec is an IEEE industry-standard feature that provides data 
protection in the network. The IEEE 802.3ae and IEEE 802.3af 
protocols provide hop-to-hop data protection between two 
network devices in the transaction line between the host and 
destination. The two network devices must support the LinkSec 
technology. The network devices could be servers, switches, and 
routers.
