Memory
FRU EEPROM - Stores the parameters and personality of the card. The EEPROM capacity is
32Kbit. FRU I
0x58 is reserved.) 
SPI Quad - includes 256Mbit SPI Quad Flash device (MX25L25645GXDI-08G device by
Macronix)
Overlay
In order to better scale their networks, data center operators often create overlay networks that
Networks
carry traffic from individual virtual machines over logical tunnels in encapsulated formats such as
NVGRE and VXLAN. While this solves network scalability issues, it hides the TCP packet from the
hardware offloading engines, placing higher loads on the host CPU. NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx
effectively addresses this by providing advanced NVGRE and VXLAN hardware offloading engines
that encapsulate and de-capsulate the overlay protocol.
RDMA
NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx, utilizing RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) technology, delivers low-
over Conve
latency and high-performance over Band and Ethernet networks. Leveraging data center bridging
rged
(DCB) capabilities, as well as NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx, advanced congestion control hardware

mechanisms, RoCE provides efficient low-latency RDMA services over Layer 2 and Layer 3
(RoCE)
networks.
