In a virtualized environment, packets
dedicated to different virtual machines
can be routed to different queues, thus
easing the routing of these packets to
the target machine
Advanced packet ltering (per port) 16 exact-matched packets (unicast
or multicast)
4096-bit hash lter for
multicast frames
Promiscuous (unicast and multicast)
transfer mode support
Optional ltering of invalid frames
Direct Cache Access (DCA) The I/O device activates a pre-fetch
engine in the CPU that loads the data
into the CPU cache ahead of time,
before use, eliminating cache misses
and reducing CPU load
