Feature Description
Storage Acceleration A consolidated compute and storage network achieves significant cost-performance
advantages over multi-fabric networks. Standard block and file access protocols can
leverage RDMA for high-performance storage access.
• NVMe over Fabric offloads for the target machine
• Erasure Coding
• T10-DIF Signature Handover
SR-IOV ConnectX®-6 Dx SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources and
guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VM) within the server.
NC-SI The adapter supports a Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), MCTP over
SMBus and MCTP over PCIe - Baseboard Management Controller interface.
High-
Performance Acceler
ations
• Tag Matching and Rendezvous Offloads
• Adaptive Routing on Reliable Transport
• Burst Buffer Offloads for Background Checkpointing
Host Management Mellanox host management sideband implementations enable remote monitor and
control capabilities using RBT, MCTP over SMBus, and MCTP over PCIe – Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) interface, supporting both NC-SI and PLDM
management protocols using these interfaces. Mellanox OCP 3.0 adapters support
these protocols to offer numerous Host Management features such as PLDM for
Firmware Update, network boot in UEFI driver, UEFI secure boot, and more.
Multi-Host or Socket
Direct TBD: Arnon
Secure Boot Hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) Secure Boot and secure firmware update using RSA
cryptography, and cloning-protection, via a device-unique secret key.
Crypto Crypto – IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption offload and
AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption and decryption offload.
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) The adapter supported Wake-on-LAN (WoL), a computer networking standard that
allows an adapter to be turned on or awakened by a network message.
In STBY mode, only port0 is available.
Reset-on-LAN (RoL) Supported
