By itself, the BCM5708C 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. The BCM5708C 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 BCM5708C processes the frame up to the highest layer supported present in it, e.g., the BCM5708C processes the frame for RDMA when the frame is an RDMA frame. SFLASH Interface Target Applications of the BCM5708C • Gigabit Ethernet NICs and LAN-on Motherboard (LOM) • ISCSI 1.0 / iSER Host Bus Adapters (HBA) • RDMA Network Interface Card (RNIC) Network Interface Cards (NIC) designs 10/100/1000 PCI-Express x4 NIC BASE-T LAN on Motherboard (LOM) designs 10/100/1000 BASE-T PCI-Express x4, x2, or x1 LOM With the appropriate configuration, the BCM5708C 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 Broadcom®, the pulse logo, and Connecting everything® are trademarks of Broadcom Corporation and/ or its subsidiaries in the United States and certain other countries.
