 Microsoft
®
dynamic virtual machine queue (VMQ), and Linux
Multiqueue
 Adaptive interrupts:
 Transmit/receive side scaling (TSS/RSS)
 Stateless offloads for Network Virtualization using Generic Routing
Encapsulation (NVGRE) and virtual LAN (VXLAN) L2/L3 GRE
tunneled traffic

 Manageability:
 System management bus (SMB) controller
 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.1a compliant
(multiple power modes)
 Network controller-sideband interface (NC-SI) support
 Advanced network features:
 Jumbo frames (up to 9,600 bytes). The OS and the link partner must
support jumbo frames.
 Virtual LANs (VLANs)
 Flow control (IEEE Std 802.3x)
 Logical link control (IEEE Std 802.2)
 High-speed on-chip reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor
 Integrated 96KB frame buffer memory (not applicable to all models)
 1,024 classification filters (not applicable to all models)
 Support for multicast addresses through 128-bit hashing hardware function
 Support for VMDirectPath I/O
FastLinQ 41xxx Series Adapters support VMDirectPath I/O in Linux and
ESX environments. VMDirectPath I/O is not supported in Windows
environments.
FastLinQ 41xxx Series Adapters can be assigned to virtual machines for
PCI pass-through operation. However, due to function level dependencies,
all PCIe functions associated with an adapter must be assigned to the same
virtual machine. Sharing PCIe functions across the hypervisor and/or one or
more virtual machines is not supported.
