14.3.2 Crystal Beach Technology
The Crystal Beach technology is a component of Intel
®
I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel
®
I/OAT) as described in Section 20.1. The Crystal Beach technology offers higher network
performance. In addition, it accelerates TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) performance.
The chipset and server hardware support Crystal Beach technology. Support is provided by
dedicated Direct Memory Access (DMA) engines on two of the PCI Express* ports.
These ports are connected to the onboard LAN controllers (Intel
®
82563EB and Intel
®
82575EB). The BIOS enables Crystal Beach technology by default.
