The Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx EN MCX4121A-ACAT is a high-performance dual-port 10/25GbE Ethernet network interface card (NIC) designed for data centers and enterprise networks. This network card supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), hardware offloads for overlay networks, and advanced virtualization features. It delivers low latency, high message rates, and efficient I/O consolidation, making it ideal for cloud, big data, and storage applications.
The ConnectX-4 Lx EN NIC incorporates several advanced technologies including RoCEv2 for remote direct memory access, hardware-based encapsulation/decapsulation for overlay networks (VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE), and SR-IOV for virtualization. It supports various Ethernet standards including IEEE 802.3by, 802.3bj, and Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols.
The network card operates by offloading network processing tasks from the host CPU through hardware acceleration. It handles packet processing, encapsulation/decapsulation of overlay networks, and RDMA operations directly in hardware, significantly reducing latency and CPU overhead. The card's firmware manages traffic flow, quality of service, and virtualization partitioning.
