On the receive path, the BCM5706 processes the frame up to the highest layer supported present in it, e.g., the BCM5706 processes the frame for RDMA when the frame is an RDMA frame. With the appropriate configuration, the BCM5706 can simultaneously support any two of the following three functions: * RDMA Network Interface Controller (RNIC) * iSCSI or iSER Host Bus Adapter * TOE Chimney enabled network accelerator PCI/PCI-X Bus PCI/PCI-X TCP, RDMA, iSCSI Code LED Control The BCM5706 provides a fully integrated Layer 4 and Layer 5 solution - TCP/IP, RDMA and iSCSI 1.0/iSER along with a complete 10/100/ 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution for high performance network applications. By itself the BCM5706 provides a complete single-chip Gigabit Ethernet NIC with a TCP/IP Offload Engine, RDMA NIC (RNIC), iSCSI 1.0/iSER HBA or LOM solution.
