Virtualization Ready: Next Generation VMDq support ( 8 VMs), Support of up to 8 VMs per port ( 1 queue allocated to each VM), PCI- SIG I/O SR-IOV support ( Direct assignment ), Queues per port : 8 TX and 8 RX queues.
Power Saving Features: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ( ACPI ) powermanagement states and wake- up capability. Advanced Power Management ( APM ) Wake-up functionality. Lower power link-disconnect .
IEEE802.1AS- Timing and Synchronization: IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol support, Per-packet timestamp.
Ethernet Controller I350: The device enables two-port or four port 1000BASE-T implementations using integrated PHY?s. It can be used for server system configurations in an add-on NIC or LAN on Motherboard (LOM) design. Another possible system configuration is for blade servers. Here, the I350 can support up to 4 SerDes ports as LOM or mezzanine card. It can also be used in embedded applications such as switch add-on cards and network appliances.
