32-/64-bit Bus-mastering
The NC6132 offers the highest data transfer method available between a network and a server for high performance and low CPU utilization. The NC6132
operates in 32- or 64-bit PCI slots and uses bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization.

Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (FEC/GEC/802.3ad static-mode configuration only) are two port-bonding methods
supported by the NC6132. TLB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all adapters for increased performance. For even higher
performance, Switch-Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) provides port failover and balancing of both transmit and receive traffic across all adapters when
connected to a switch that supports this feature.

Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which is six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames.
Like all Compaq Gigabit server adapters, the NC6132, supports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization when
deploy in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
