Adaptive
Interrupt
Frequency
The adapter driver intelligently adjusts host interrupt frequency based on
traffic conditions to increase overall application throughput. When traffic is
light, the adapter driver interrupts the host for each received packet,
minimizing latency. When traffic is heavy, the adapter issues one host
interrupt for multiple, back-to-back incoming packets, preserving host CPU
cycles.
ASIC with
Embedded RISC
Processor
The core control for the ANC10S/2 network adapter resides in a tightly
integrated, high-performance ASIC. The ASIC includes a RISC processor.
This functionality provides the flexibility to add new features to the card
and adapts it to future network requirements through software downloads.
This functionality also enables the adapter drivers to exploit the built-in
host offload functions on the adapter as host operating systems are
enhanced to take advantage of these functions.
Supported
Operating
Environments
The ANC10S/2 network adapter has software support for the following
operating systems:
 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit extended)
