NFORMATION
This feature allows the CyberSWITCH to increase its bridging performance when heavy local
unicast traffic is present. Hardware filters let you move the burden of filtering the unicast local
traffic from the CPU to the ethernet controller. This results in both an increase in performance and
a reduction in dropped packets. As a default, this feature is disabled.
Note:
If bridging is disabled, hardware filters have no affect.
