Abstract

Intelligent network interface cards are widely deployed in databases, web servers, big data analytics, shared mass storage, virtualized network device, router, and firewall. This paper presents an intelligent NIC design based on Freescale T2080 processor. It is a PCI Express card and provides two SFP+ ports. The design supports SR-IOV and up to 16 virtual machines while offering the benefits of direct I/O throughput, maximizing the potential for using the full bandwidth. The customizable program run on the 8 cores is responsible for policing, classification, forwarding packets and supports TCP segment offload, UDP fragmentation offload, IP fragmentation offload, packet aggregation while improving the throughput and reducing server's CPU overhead. The iNIC can be widely used in various servers to reduce costs, increase network flexibility, scalability and reliability.
