Support for up to 8 virtual function ( VFs)

Partial replication of PCI Configuration space

Support for 8 pools (single queue) of virtual machine Device Queues (VMDq) per port.

Support Direct Cache Access (DCA).

Support Intel I/O Acceleration Technology v3.0.

TSO interleaving for reduced latency

Minimized device I/O interrupts using MSI and MSI-X

UDP, TCP and IP checksum offload

UDP and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO). machine

SCTP receive and transmit checksum offload.

Packet interrupt coalescing timers (packet timers) and absolute-delay interrupt timers for both transmit and receive operation.

EEE (IEEE 802.3az) for reduced power consumption during low link utilization periods.
