TXA034 PCI-E 4X 1G 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Network Card I350-T4 PCI Express Network Tool

This network card is a new 4-port server network card launched by Intel after 82580 (1340-T4). Its performance certainly exceeds that of 82580. It adopts PCI-EX4 design and integrates four Gigabit RJ45 interfaces. It is designed for servers and high-end devices. And its performance has been optimized so that system I/0 is no longer a bottleneck for high-end network applications. Enable fault tolerance through grouping. Traffic from the faulty port will be routed to other members of the group. There is an integrated hardware acceleration function, which performs TCP/UDP/IP verification and TCP segmentation tasks. Host processing technology can offload the accelerator and release CPU resources to process other applications. It is based on the Intel I350AM4 dual-port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of the Intel controller. Up to 86 queues of receive side scaling (RSS) can minimize CPU usage in multiple processor systems. Provide excellent server-level reliability, availability and performance characteristics.
