The HP 552M adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10, which allows 10 Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. The HP 552M optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP\/IP and TCP Offload Engine (TOE).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJumbo frames\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe HP 552M adapter support for jumbo frames permits up to a 9K byte maximum transmission unit (MTU), which is over five times the size of standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e802.1p QoS tagging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e802.1Q VLANs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port or FlexNIC of the HP 552M adapter to be assigned to a VLAN for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to the same VLAN domain also improves performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTOE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTCP\/IP Offload Engine (TOE) moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HP Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41438409261131,"sku":"675484-001","price":869.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1824\/0789\/files\/HP-552M-Network-adapter-PCIe-2_0-x8-10GBase-KX4-x-2.jpg?v=1749185419","url":"https:\/\/www.tecisoft.ca\/products\/hp-552m-network-adapter-pcie-2-0-x8-10gbase-kx4-x-2","provider":"TeciSoft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
