This combination should provide an unprecedented level of performance with extremely low CPU utilization and minimal operating system overhead. Conclusion With the recent phenomenal growth of networking has come the increased demand for raw throughput on IP based networks. This has resulted in new physical layer standards such as Gigabit Ethernet and new infrastructure equipment such as Layer 3 switches capable of line speed IP routing. For many years the architectural development of NICs has been viewed as somewhat uninteresting and non-critical to the overall networking infrastructure. But simply relying on increased processor speeds to scale existing NIC architectures will not keep up with the physical capacity available for carrying IP traffic.
