PE310G4DBIR-T Intel® FM10420 Based

Quad Port Copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Content Director Server Adapter

Product Description

Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express content aware director

Bypass server adapters is designed for servers and high-end

appliances. The Silicom content aware director server adapter is

designed with an on board smart routing architecture that enables

packets to be redirected or dropped based on defined rules.

The Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet content aware packet director

reduces host system process since only packets that are defined to be targeted to the host systems are routed to the host; other

packets can be routed to the other port or can be dropped by the content aware hardware routing architecture.

The Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet content aware packet director is targeted to network applications that needs to process, monitor

or bypass packets based on defined rules. The adapter supports three main modes of operation: Content Aware Bypass, Content

Aware TAP and content Aware filtering NIC.

Content Aware Bypass

Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet content aware director provides

intelligent packet redirection capability where rules specify which

packets are directed to the host system and which packets are

directed to the other port (Bypass).

Content Aware TAP

Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet content aware director provides

intelligent packet redirection capability where all packets are

directed to the other port (Bypassed) and rules specify which

packets are copied to the host system ( TAP).

Content Aware Filtering NIC

Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet content aware provides intelligent packet redirection capability where rules specify which packets are

directed to the host or dropped.

The Silicom 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express content director server adapter is based on Intel FM10420 Ethernet controller and a

L3 switch router. The Silicom’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express adapter is based on standard L2 driver and with the content

director engine reduces CPU host system processing.

The Silicom 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express content aware server adapter offers simple integration into any PCI Express X8 to

10Gigabit Network.
