TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
The TCP/IP protocol suite is used to provide transport services for a wide range of applications for the Internet, LAN, and for file transfer. Without TCP Offload Engine, the TCP/IP protocol suite runs on the host CPU, consuming a very high percentage of its resources and leaving little resources for applications. With the use of this product, the TCP/IP processing can be moved to hardware, freeing the CPU for more important tasks such as application processing.
This product's network adapter's TOE function allows simultaneous operations of up to 1024 fully offloaded TCP connections. The TOE support on the adapter significantly reduces the host CPU utilization while preserving the implementation of the operating system stack.
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2)
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS2), a component of the Broadcom teaming software, is an integrated utility that provides information about each network adapter that is installed in your system.
The BACS2 also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analysis on each adapter, as well as to modify property values and view traffic statistics for each adapter. BACS2 is used on a Windows operating systems to configure teaming and to add VLANs.
