The HP 561FLR-T adapter delivers 20 Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port, providing the
network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks that impact
performance of next generation data centers. 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for high performance
computing, database clusters, and more.
The HP 561FLR-T adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a
9.5K byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over 5X the size of a
standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. With jumbo frames, networks can achieve higher throughput
performance and improve CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer
and tape backup operations.
TCP, IP, UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO). These features
optimize host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
The HP 561FLR-T Adapter TCP/IP stateless offloading capability.
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores. The HP 561FLR-T Adapter supports MSI and MSI-X.
IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 561FLR-T
adapter to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security
and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic
to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance. The HP 561FLR-T Adapter provides support
for 802.1Q (VLAN).
