2 Functional Description
The Broadcom NetXtreme-C (BCM573XX) and NetXtreme-E (BCM574XX) family of Ethernet Controllers are highly-
integrated, full-featured Ethernet LAN controllers optimized for data center and cloud infrastructures. Adapters support
100G/50G/40G/25G/10G/1G in both single and dual-port configurations. On the host side, these devices support sixteen
lanes of a PCIe Generation 3 interface.
An extensive set of stateless offloads and virtualization offloads to enhance packet processing efficiency are included to
enable low-overhead, high-speed network communications.
