3.1.2.3 Evolution of Ethernet Adapter Cards, Modules, and
Platforms
The 7705 SAR hardware components have improved as technology has developed.
Table 2 lists the Ethernet adapter cards, modules, and platforms according to their
generation. Second-generation (Gen-2) components have additional features,
increased card memory and/or improved QoS mechanisms over first-generation
(Gen-1) components. Similarly, third-generation (Gen-3) components improve upon
second-generation components.
