The Intel Gigabit CT Desktop NIC from HP provides an end-to-end Gigabit solution from the server to the switch infrastructure and down to the desktop and workstation. It supports ACPI, WOL, and PXE for lower power consumption, remote wake, and remote booting, respectively.
Just as networks migrated from 10Mb to 100Mb and gained a 10-fold improvement, the same is true when moving from 100Mb to Gigabit with its scalable performance, flexibility, ease of implementation, and lowered costs.End-to-end Gigabit solution
Delivers better network performance by alleviating congestion and removing bottlenecks
Interrupt moderation (significantly reduces CPU utilization and increases throughput)
ACPI, WOL, and PXE allow for lower power consumption, remote wake, and remote booting, respectively
Advanced cable diagnostics help to dynamically test and report network problems (interrupts, error rate, cable length) and automatically compensate for cable issues
PCIe v1.0a compliant
Optimized transmit and receive queues
A large 48KB per port On-Chip memory
Jumbo Frames up to 16KB support faster performance
Statistic counters for SNMP and RMON (802.3z, clause 30)
Multiple transmit and receive descriptor queues
Half and full-duplex operation (10/100)
TCP, UDP, and IP checksum offloads
TCP segmentation capability compatible with NT5.x offloading features
Remote cable management with diagnostics and fault isolation
Supports Advanced Network Services (ANS) Teaming. This feature lets you take advantage of multiple Intel network adapters in a system by grouping them together. ANS teaming can use features like fault tolerance and load balancing to increase throughput and reliability
