This PCI Express controller with Base-T copper networking interface, provides compact, single-port integrated multi-gigabit (up to 2.5G ) - MDI (Copper) standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 2500BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-TE connections (IEEE 802.3, 802.3 u, 802.3 ab). The Intel® Ethernet Controller I225 is designed for use on any mobile, desktop, workstation, value-server, or industrial designs that have critical space constraints. Also supports the latest time sensitive networking (TSN) features, along with best in class power management and Operating System Support
Advanced interrupt-handling features manage multiple interrupts simultaneously. Combining interrupt-handling features with intelligent filtering, ordering, and directing packets to specific queues and cores, enables load-balancing network traffic flows to improve throughput in multi-core platforms.
Other performance-enhancing features include IPv4 and IPv6 checksum offload, TCP/UDP checksum offload, extended Tx descriptors for more offload capabilities, up to 256 KB TCP segmentation (TSO v2), 40 KB packet buffer size, and 9.5 KB Jumbo Frame support.
