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

•Support for 133/100/66 PCI-X in Models 5262-(LC,SC,RJ), 5263-SFP, 5264, 5468, 6162 and 6267-SFP

•Support for “x8” 8-lane PCI Express in Models 6468

•Installs in any PCI or CompactPCI system with a PMC, universal PCI/PCI-X or PCIe slot

•Ideal solution for CompactPCI and embedded 1U and 2U PC-based systems

•Utilizes either 5 or 3.3 volt pci bus power supply and contains onboard power regulators

•Full duplex Gigabit Ethernet Interface over standard CAT5e cabling

•Complies with all PCI revision 2.2 mechanical and electrical requirements

•Fully IEEE 802.3z, IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3u and IEEE 1386 compliant
