Broadcom 5720 - Network Adapter

Key Features and Benefits:

• Precision time protocol (PTP)
  It provides granular time synchronization across your Ethernet network.
• MSI-X
  Designed to enhance overall system performance, reduce system overhead, lower interrupt latency and increase host CPU utilization.
• Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS)
  Streamlines management tasks, optimizes performance and helps to improve uptime.
• Improve I/O performance and traffic isolation
  Help improve performance and productivity by eliminating network bottlenecks in workload-intensive computing environments or connection-dense virtual machine environments. The dual-port design of Broadcom 1 GbE adapters enables the isolation of traffic for different virtual machines or applications by routing them through different ports.
• Optimize server performance
  Broadcom 1 GbE adapters leverage stateless offload such as TCP/IP checksum, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), receive side scaling (RSS), large send offload (LSO) and others to help provide maximum flexibility and optimized performance.
• Reduce operating expenses
  You can help reduce your energy footprint and complement data center energy initiatives through the intelligent power management features that meet Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards.
