offloading from the CPU to the network adapter.
Large send offload (LSO) or TCP segmentation offload (TSO) allows the
TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.
Interrupt Coalescence
Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby
reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes
host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
Dual Address Cycles
Dual address cycles (DAC) provide the ability to address memory above 4 GB
and improve system performance by preventing the server operating system
from performing a buffer copy from below 4 GB to above 4 GB.
High Availability
Quad port
The four ports on the NC364m are transmitted to up to four separate
enclosure interconnect bays providing redundant signal paths.
Redundant adapters
With multiple quad port adapters supported per server connected to up to two
redundant pairs of interconnect modules per enclosure, a very wide variety of
high availability I/O configurations are possible.
ProLiant Network Adapter
Teaming
ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load
balancing across a team of two or more network adapters. The team of
adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support for several
different types of teaming is included. Teaming offers IT professionals an
easy, efficient, and cost-effective way to provide network fault tolerance and
increased network bandwidth. For more information, refer to the ProLiant
