Intel? 82599 Dual Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
PCIe x8 Gen.2 host interface
Dual SFP+ connectors
Compliant with VITA 42.0-2005, 42.3-2006 XMC specifications
The MIC-3666 is a low power, dual-port 10 GbE XMC, with SFP pluggable modules for multi-mode and single-mode fiber media and is based on the Intel? 82599ES 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller. The XMC provides a high performance PCIe x8 interface at 5 Gb/s per lane at an outstanding low power dissipation of less than 10W. Support for Intel?'s offloading and platform enhancement features yields maximum network throughput while preserving valuable CPU cycles for application processing.
The MIC-3666 features an Intel? 82599 which provides Intel? Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) including Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and PCI_SIG compliant Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), helping to reduce I/O bottlenecks, boost throughput, and reduce latency. Where virtualization is required, VMDqs improve performance by offloading the data-sorting burden from the virtual machine manager (VMM) to the network controller. The MIC-3666's specialized features include Layer 2 & 3 security with IPSec & LinkSec; Intel? I/OAT Acceleration Technology v3.0; VLAN tagging, stripping and packet filtering; and TCP, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) offload.
