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
