Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN - network adapter - PCIe 4.0 x16 - 40 Gigabit QSFP28

ConnectX-5 supports two ports of 100 Gb/s Ethernet connectivity, sub-700 nanosecond latency, and very high message rate, plus PCIe switch and NVMe over Fabric offloads, providing high performance and flexible solution for the most demanding applications and markets.

ConnectX-5 Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing (ASAP2) technology enhances offloading of virtual switches and virtual routers, for example, Open V-Switch (OVS), which results in significantly higher data transfer performance without overloading the CPU. Together with native RoCE and DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) support, ConnectX-5 dramatically improves Cloud and NFV platform efficiency.
