Ethernet Throughput
The HP 533FLR-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.
Jumbo Frames The HP 533 FLR-T adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K
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 Stateless
Offloading
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 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom offers TCP/IP stateless offloading capability.
MSI and MSI-X Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores. The HP 533 FLR-T Adapter by Broadcom supports MSI and MSI-
X.
802.1Q VLANs IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 533 FLR-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 530T Adapter by Broadcom provides
support for 802.1Q (VLAN).
TOE TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) shifts the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to
the adapter's processor, freeing server CPU cycles for other operations.
