D-Link DGE560T PCI Express Gigabit Adaptor

The DGE-560T Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter is a high performance adapter designed for the high-speed PCI Express Bus Architecture. The DGE-560T offers increased bandwidth, reliability, and more functionality than standard PCI network cards. It is specifically designed to allow throughput at rates of up to 2Gbps, eliminating the bottleneck that exists with current 32-bit and 64-bit PCI bus architectures. Advanced features such as 802.3x flow control, SNMP for network monitoring and management, and Jumbo Frame interoperability with your current networking equipment are also supported

Advanced Features and Security

The DGE-560T features onboard screening of 802.1Q VLAN Tagged Ethernet frames for use in networks that support 802.1Q VLAN features like subjects, traffic control, and security. It also supports 802.1p Priority Tagging for traffic prioritization. In addition, the DGE-560T supports 802.3ad Link Aggregation. This provides a means to increase bandwidth to workstations and servers by “trunking” multiple cards together forming one large bandwidth pipe. In today’s overpopulated and bandwidth starved networks, 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) can dramatically improve performance of your overburdened LAN servers.
