Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210 supports IEEE 802.1 Qav Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) for customers requiring tightly controlled media stream synchronization, buffering, and reservation. The 802.1 Qav is part of the AVB
Specification that provides a way to guarantee bounded latency & latency variation for time sensitive traffic. Performance optimization The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210 contains four transmit & four receive queues. These queues offer Error Correcting Memory (ECC) protection for enhanced data reliability. The adapter efficiently manages packets with minimum latency by combining parallel & pipelined logic architectures optimized for these independent transmit & receive queues. These queues, combined with Receive Side Scaling (RSS) & Message Signal Interrupt Extension (MSI-X) support, optimize the performance on servers with multi-core processors. Power management technologies Today, companies everywhere are looking for ways to decrease energy consumption across the enterprise to reduce costs & environmental impact, while at the same time solving increasingly important power density challenges. That's why Intel has introduced advanced Power management technologies that enable enterprises to configure power options on the adapter & more effectively manage power consumption. Environmentally friendly design The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210 Family is low halogen & completely lead-free to reduce the potential for environmental impact. This, in combination with power management technologies, a unique ventilated bracket, and space saving design make this adapter an ideal solution for compact workstations & entry-level servers.
