Broadcom BCM5720-2P. Broadcom BCM5720. 2x RJ45 GbE. PCIe x1.

Designed for today's enterprise and data center environments, Broadcom's 1G Ethernet adapters are the ideal solution for multi-core servers, delivering full line-rate performance on all ports.

The BCM5720 PCIe NIC is a 13th Generation 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10/100/1000BASE-X Ethernet LAN controller solution for high-performance server and networking applications. The host interface supports a separate PCI Express function for each LAN interface. The BCM5720 includes I/O virtualization (IOV) features such as 17 receive and 16 transmit queues, and 17 MSI-X vectors with flexible vector-to-queue association. These IOV features enable the BCM5720 to support VMWare® NetQueue and Microsoft® VMQ technologies.

The BCM5720 includes a complete set of hardware functions that the system can use to implement time synchronization based on IEEE 1588 or IEEE 802.1AS. These hardware features include a high-precision clock, timestamp registers for receiving/transmitting packets, and programmable trigger inputs and watchdog outputs.
