All Intel® Ethernet 800 Series Controllers¹ include these technologies: | Supports both iWARP and RoCEv2 RDMA

RDMA is a host-offload, host-bypass technology that enables a direct memory-to-memory data communication between applications over a network. RDMA provides high throughput and low-latency performance for high-speed Ethernet by eliminating three major sources of networking overhead: TCP/IP stack process, memory copies, and application context switches.

RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet):

RoCEv2 substitutes the InfiniBand physical layer and data link layer with Ethernet, operates on top of UDP/ IP, and is routable over IP networks.

iWARP, IETF standard protocols based:

Delivers RDMA on top of the pervasive TCP/IP protocol. iWARPRDMA runs over standard network and transport layers and works with all Ethernet network infrastructure. TCP provides flow control and congestion management and does not require a lossless Ethernet network. iWARP is a highly routable and scalable RDMA implementation. Intel Ethernet 800 Series supports both RoCEv2 and iWARP that are selectable via software per port to provide the flexibility that customers need.

Deliver consistent application performance with Application Device Queues (ADQ)

As modern data centers scale, a key challenge is to provide scalable and predictable application-level performance. ADQ technology improves performance scalability and predictability by dedicating specific resources to key workloads. ADQ enables application-specific data steering, signaling, and rate limiting using an optimized application thread to device data path.
