7 The BNXT PMD (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for adapters based on
8 Ethernet controllers and SoCs belonging to the **Broadcom BCM5730X NetXtreme-C®
9 Family of Ethernet Network Controllers**, the **Broadcom BCM574XX/BCM575XX
10 NetXtreme-E® Family of Ethernet Network Controllers**, the **Broadcom BCM588XX
11 Stingray Family of SmartNIC Adapters**, and the **Broadcom StrataGX® BCM5871X
12 Series of Communications Processors**. A complete list with links to reference
13 material is included below.
19 The BNXT PMD includes support for the following features:
21 * Multiple transmit and receive queues
24 * RSS key configuration
25 * RSS reta configuration
28 * Configurable RX CRC stripping
29 * L3/L4 checksum offload
34 * Basic and extended port statistics
35 * Link state reporting
40 * Unicast and multicast MAC filtering
41 * Scatter/gather transmit and receive
48 The BNXT PMD includes support for SSE vector mode on x86 platforms. Vector
49 provides significantly improved performance over the base implementation,
50 however it does not support all of the features that are supported by the
51 base (non-vector) implementation. Vector mode will be selected and enabled
52 automatically when the port is started if allowed by the current configuration.
54 RX Requirements for Vector Mode
55 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
57 Vector mode receive will be enabled if the following constrainsts are met:
58 * Packets must fit within a single mbuf (no scatter RX).
59 * LRO offload must be disabled.
61 TX Requirements for Vector Mode
62 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
64 Vector mode transmit will be enabled if the following constrainsts are met:
65 * Packets must be contained within a single mbuf (no gather TX).
66 * All transmit offloads other than VLAN insertion must be disabled.
