ConnectX-6 Dx IC
The ConnectX®-6 Dx EN family of adapter IC devices delivers two ports of 10/25/40/50/100Gb/s or
a single port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity paired with best-in-class hardware capabilities that
accelerate and secure cloud and data-center workloads.

Encryption


Applies to Crypto-enabled OPNs.
ConnectX-6 Dx brings security to every end-point, including:
• Purpose-built inline acceleration engines that offload IPsec and TLS data-in-motion and XTS-
AES data-at-rest cryptographic operations.
• Stateful firewall solution acceleration, powered by Open vSwitch connection tracking and
NVIDIA's ASAP2 technology.
• Embedded hardware root-of-trust and support for RSA-based secure firmware update and
secure boot, guaranteeing the network adapter's integrity.
NVIDIA Multi-Host
In addition to building exceptionally high bandwidth to the data center, the ConnectX-6 Dx device
enables leveraging this speed across the entire data center utilizing its NVIDIA Multi-Host feature.
Using its 32-lane PCI Express interface, a single ConnectX-6 Dx device can provide 200GbE
interconnect for up to four independent hosts without any performance degradation.
The figure below shows a ConnectX-6 Dx device with NVIDIA Multi-Host connected to four separate
hosts, each with a PCIe x4 interface, on one side to a switch on the other side.
FRU EEPROM capacity 4Kb
