Ethernet Support
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers outstanding network performance that improves
response time and removes bottlenecks. Because the HP 361T supports both 10Mbps Ethernet and
100Mbps Fast Ethernet in addition to Gigabit Ethernet, users are guaranteed end-to-end protocol support
across their enterprise.
PCI Express Interface
HP was an early champion of PCI Express bus technology and has played a key role in the development and
industry adoption of the PCI Express specification. The HP 361T features a high performance Intel®
Ethernet Controller I350 and offers a four lane (x4) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v2.1 standard,
yielding faster transmissions with lower CPU utilization than earlier solutions.
Load Balancing
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) and Switch-assisted Load Balancing (SLB) are two advanced features that
customers can use to build a bigger pipe for improved networking bandwidth. These port bonding
techniques enable users to install up to four dual-port HP 361T adapters (total of 8 ports) in a HP ProLiant
server and aggregate their throughput up to a theoretical maximum of 16 Gigabits per second full-duplex
transmissions.
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo Frames (also known as Extended Frames) offer a 9.5K byte Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU),
which is approximately six times the size of traditional Ethernet frames. Like all HP ProLiant server
adapters, the HP 361Tsupports jumbo frames as a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU
utilization when deployed in a network infrastructure that supports them. Jumbo frames are particularly
useful for database transfers and tape backups.
