DELL NetXtreme II 5708 Internal networking card

NetXtreme II 5708 Single Port Gigabit Broadcom NetXtreme II C-NIC technology is designed as a cost-point replacement to standard Gigabit Ethernet implementations enabling the adoption of TOE, iSCSI and RDMA as a baseline function for blade, high-density rack and tower server LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) applications, as well as for standalone high-performance network adapters.The Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708 is the industry's first single-chip Gigabit Ethernet controller that integrates key server technologies including a TCP/IP Offload Engine, Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (RDMA), iSCSI, and remote management pass-through features on a single network device. This enables servers to perform multiple functions simultaneously including storage networking, high-performance clustering, and 'always on' remote management.Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708 NetXtreme II controller reduces CPU utilization to less than 20% by offloading the protocol processing from the CPU to the on-chip offload engines.
