9. Adapter / Controller Features
Characteristic Values Importance
Number of network ports 1 port or Having 2 ports enables failover
2 ports architecture or active-active config
Host Interface PCI-X PCIe v2.0 supports 1-32 lanes of
PCIe v1.0 5GHz per lane. Essentially
PCIe v2.0 removing host interface as the
bottleneck
Interrupt MSI MSI-X enables interrupt vector
MSI-X assignments. Each CPU gets its
own vector. Works well with RSS.
Internal & External Memory Varies significantly from Stateful offloads use the internal
vendor to vendor and external memory for
maintaining connection state.
Throughput, Varies significantly from The adapter should support wire-
CPU Utilization, Latency vendor to vendor speed performance
The latency and CPU Utilization
must be low

Characteristic Values Importance
Offloads Stateless offloads Almost all adapter support
stateless offloads
Chimney (Partial Offload) Intel is an exception in supporting
Full TCP Offload Full TCP offload. TOE provides
acceleration for networking and
NAS traffic
Partial iSCSI / FCoE Full offload is required for high
offload; throughput and low latency
Full iSCSI / FCoE offload
RDMA Low Latency needs to be
maintained. Latency measured
from the time a bit leaves the wire
to when it reaches application
buffer
