The PCIe x8 BCM57810 Dual-10G SFP+ Server NIC is a sixth-generation Converged controller designed for high-volume, converged LAN on motherboard(LOM) and converged network adapter applications, 

enables PCI SIG single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), Iscsi, FCoE, DCB, on-chip TOE, and RDMA. The Converged controller support PCIe 3.0 along with Embedded Virtual Bridging and other switching 

technologies for high-performance direct memory access (DMA) and Virtual machine(VM) to VM switching.

▪ Compliant with PCI Express Revision 3.0 and backward compliant with PCIe2.0 and 1.1

▪ Dual-port 10Gbase-KR/SFF-8431(SFP+) interface for 1Gbps/10Gbps operation

▪ Supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic

▪ Supports MSI and MSI-X

▪ Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency

▪ Support for I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual workloads

▪ Support Checksum and Segmentation Offload capabilities

▪ Supports IPv6, IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet‍

▪ Support RSS capabilities, RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of available processors

▪ Supports Precision Time Protocol-ready (PTP)

▪ Support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth, The team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter

▪ Support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs

▪ The PCIe x8 Network Card is a validated, tested, and qualified solution,support for Server Integration

▪ Each BCM57810 ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming

▪  Support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations

▪ Support Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

▪ Support VMware NetQueue and Windows Hyper-V VMQ‍

▪ Support  Insight Manager (SIM) and  SNMP
