space optimized for LOM and low-profile NIC applications.
Extremely low CPU utilization for TCP/IP applications
• Host CPU is free to run application code
• Easy integration with Microsoft’s TOE Chimney Architecture
Accelerated IP-based storage
• Lower CPU utilization for file-level storage protocols such as
CIFS and NFS
• iSCSI functionality with low CPU utilization
RDMA support for data placement in application buffers
reduces CPU utilization and lowers data transit latencies. The
result is improved application performance and faster user
response time.
Interoperable with:
• Broadcom’s Gigabit controller family – BCM570x
• Existing Ethernet 10/100/1000 network infrastructure
Future-proof
• Flexible implementation for TCP, iWARP and iSCSI can
accommodate specification changes and interoperability issues
Performance-focused – optimized for throughput and CPU
utilization
• Adaptive interrupts
• MSI allows interrupt distribution in a multi-CPU host system
• Support for PCI-X—allows sufficient bandwidth for wire
speed operation
Robust and highly manageable
• PXE 2.0, ACPI 1.1, Wake-On LAN, ASF 1.0
• Integrated cable testing—link quality, length, pair skew, pair
polarity, pair swap
• IPMI 'pass-through' capability allows on-board management
controllers access to the network in OS-present and OS-absent
states
Server class reliability, availability and performance features
• Link aggregation and load balancing
- Switch-dependent
• 802.3ad (LACP), generic trunking (GEC/FEC)
- Switch and NIC independent
• PCI hot plug
Low power for zero airflow implementations
• Advanced power management
Minimal real estate—ideal for LOM
• On-chip power circuit controller

The BCM5706 is different from other network controllers because it can
process the TCP/IP and relevant L5 protocols on data directly from the
application buffers on the host, therefore relieving the host CPU from
these time-consuming operations. On the receive path, the BCM5706
processes the frame up to the highest layer supported present in it, e.g.,
the BCM5706 processes the frame for RDMA when the frame is an
RDMA frame.
With the appropriate configuration, the BCM5706 can simultaneously
support any two of the following three functions:
• RDMA Network Interface Controller (RNIC)
• iSCSI or iSER Host Bus Adapter
• TOE Chimney enabled network accelerator

The BCM5706 provides a fully integrated Layer 4 and Layer 5 solution
- TCP/IP, RDMA and iSCSI 1.0/iSER along with a complete 10/100/
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access
Control (MAC) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution for high
performance network applications. By itself the BCM5706 provides a
complete single-chip Gigabit Ethernet NIC with a TCP/IP Offload
Engine, RDMA NIC (RNIC), iSCSI 1.0/iSER HBA or LOM solution.
