These adapters support Standards- +compliant 10/25/50Gbps 30MPPS full-duplex throughput. + +Information about this family of adapters can be found in the +`NetXtreme® Brand section <https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-communication-and-switching?technology%5B%5D=88>`_ +of the `Broadcom web site <http://www.broadcom.com/>`_. + +Limitations +----------- + +With the current driver, allocated mbufs must be large enough to hold +the entire received frame. If the mbufs are not large enough, the +packets will be dropped. This is most limiting when jumbo frames are +used. + +SR-IOV is not supported. -- 1.9.1
