|
|
|
|
The bnxt poll mode library (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for:
|
|
|
|
* **Broadcom NetXtreme-C®/NetXtreme-E® BCM5730X and BCM574XX family of
|
|
Ethernet Network Controllers**
|
|
|
|
These adapters support Standards compliant 10/25/50/100Gbps 30MPPS
|
|
full-duplex throughput.
|
|
|
|
Information about the NetXtreme family of adapters can be found in the
|
|
`NetXtreme® Brand section

|
|
|
|
* **Broadcom StrataGX® BCM5871X Series of Communucations Processors**
|
|
|
|
These ARM based processors target a broad range of networking applications
|

including virtual CPE (vCPE) and NFV appliances, 10G service routers and
|
|
gateways, control plane processing for Ethernet switches and network
|
|
attached storage (NAS).

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.
