In a virtualized environment, packets 

dedicated to different virtual machines 

can be routed to different queues, thus 

easing the routing of these packets to 

the target machine

Advanced packet filtering (per port) 

•   16 exact-matched packets  

(unicast or multicast) 

•   4096-bit hash filter for  

multicast frames 

•   Promiscuous (unicast and multicast) 

transfer mode support 

•   Optional filtering of invalid frames 

Direct Cache Access (DCA)

The I/O device activates a pre-fetch 

engine in the CPU that loads the data 

into the CPU cache ahead of time, 

before use, eliminating cache misses 

and reducing CPU load
