From Ethernet Ubiquity to Ethernet Convergence: The Emergence of the Converged Network Interface Controller

Overview The focus of this paper is on the emergence of the converged network interface controller (C-NIC) providing accelerated client/server, clustering, and storage networking and enabling the use of unified TCP/IP Ethernet communications. The breadth and importance of server applications that can benefit from C-NIC capabilities, together with the emergence of server operating systems interfaces enabling highly integrated network acceleration capabilities, promise to make CNICs a standard feature of volume server configurations.
