Product Description
Based on proven Interphase (i)chip ATM ASIC technology, the 5575 PCI ATM Adapter offers a number of features which enhance overall system performance by minimizing utilization of the PCI bus. The adapter supports 128 byte bursts, providing a faster and more efficient transport of data across of the PCI bus. Performance is further enhanced by the ability to select either on-board or off-board reassembly of packets, allowing the user to tune specific system performance based on the applications being run. In addition, by making the ABR implementation trans-parent to real time data handling software, CPU utilization is significantly decreased.With hardware-based ABR, the 5575 PCI ATM Adapter offers dynamic network adjustment, which is up to a thousand times faster than software- based ABR alternatives. This faster response time to changing network congestion optimizes overall network performance by closely mirroring real-time network traffic patterns. An innovative Interphase cell-scheduling algorithm offers continuous granularity on a per-VC basis, thus further optimizing network performance under congested conditions. This differs from the "rate queue" approach utilized by many other adapters, which often leads to inefficient allocation of bandwidth when network traffic becomes heavy. The 5575 PCI ATM Adapter is compliant with the ATM Forum Traffic Management 4.0 specification. The 5575 ATM Adapter provides high performance, full duplex ATM connectivity for demanding server applications, with hardware support for advanced traffic management capabilities.
