Data flow help for 10 GbE

With the adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) for video and other data sources, even the most powerful processors require help managing the data flow to prevent performance bottlenecks. Acromag’s XMC-6260 and XMC-6280 mezzanine modules provide a 10 GbE interface solution for data-intensive, realtime embedded computing systems. Ultra-high-performance is achieved using a TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) based on the Chelsio T4 processor connected to a PCI Express Gen2 x8 interface. The TOE processor has hundreds of programmable registers for protocol configuration and offload control. The XMC-6260 has dual XAUI 10GBASE-KX4 ports while the XMC-6280 features four SFP+ ports for fiber or copper cables. Applications include high-speed data storage, image collection/transfer, distributed control networks, and board-to-board interfaces
