Moreover, ConnectX-5 Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing (ASAP2™) technology enhances the offloading of virtual switches, such as Open V-Switch (OVS), resulting in significantly higher data transfer performance without overloading the CPU. Together with native RDMA and RoCE support, ConnectX-5 dramatically improves cloud and NFV platform efficiency.
Mellanox offers an alternate ConnectX-5 Socket Direct™ card to enable a 100 Gb/s transmission rate for servers without x16 PCIe slots. The adapter's 16-lane PCIe bus is split into two 8-lane buses, with one bus accessible through a PCIe x8 edge connector and the other bus through an x8 parallel connector to an auxiliary PCIe connection card. The two cards are connected using a dedicated harness. Additionally, the card improves performance by enabling direct access from each CPU in a dual-socket server to the network through its dedicated PCIe x8 interface.

IWARP offers converged fabric services with low latency for data centers using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet. The key components of iWARP that ensure low latency are Kernel Bypass, Direct Data Placement, and Transport Acceleration.
The Intel Data Direct I/O technology is a platform technology designed to enhance the efficiency of I/O data processing for data delivery and usage from I/O devices. With Intel Data Direct I/O technology, Intel server adapters communicate directly with the processor cache, bypassing system memory, which reduces latency, increases system I/O bandwidth, and lowers power consumption.
Single Root I/O Virtualization includes the native (direct) sharing of a single I/O resource among multiple virtual machines. This virtualization provides a mechanism through which a single root function (for example, a single Ethernet port) can be represented as multiple separate physical devices.
The Flexible Port Partitioning technique utilizes the industry-standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently partition the physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices and offers Quality of Service by ensuring that each process is assigned to a virtual function and receives an appropriate share of the bandwidth.
Virtual Machine Device Queues is a technique for offloading some switching operations from the virtual machine monitor to network hardware specifically designed for this function. This technique drastically reduces the operating costs associated with I/O switching within the virtual machine monitor, significantly increasing throughput and overall system performance.
