Broadcom introduced its BCM57300 NetXtreme C-Series of scalable 10G/25G/40G/50G Ethernet controllers, which utilize the company’s TruFlow technology to deal with network traffic congestion while delivering up to 30 Mbps with low latency (1.5-µs round trip), all in the industry’s lowest powered (<5W), smallest (14×14 mm2) 25/50G controller package.
Available on either dual-port or single-port PCIe and OCP mezzanine NIC models, Broadcom’s NetXtreme C-Series controllers are designed to extend the network edge into the server NIC. The BCM57300 uses a hardware-based approach to congestion notification that is faster than software-based solutions.
