3. KEY FEATURES

The GigMAC (PMC and PCI), GigPMC-switch and GigPCI-E switches offer the following key features:

•Sustained throughput of 245 Mbytes/sec (1.96 Gb) per port over PCI bus using 64-bit, 66 MHZ PCI

•Sustained throughput of 118 Mbytes/sec (944 Gb) per port over PCI bus using 32-bit, 33 MHZ PCI

•Frame processing rate of up to 1,000,000 frames per second (as measured on 2 GHZ P4/Zeon running Linux 2.4 kernel)

•Very low latency, < 2 microseconds for short frames

•Support for copper and fiber interfaces

•Driver support for vxWorks and Linux including embedded Linux

•Built in management and diagnostics capabilities in drivers

•High-performance frame generator (wire and bus-speed capable)

•Performance and health monitoring statistics

•64-bit PMC and 64-bit PCI/PCI-X low-profile card adapter form factors

•Supports 33 and 66 MHz, 32 and 64 bit PCI interfaces including PMC form factor
