Easier to guarantee maximum line rate due to the ability to store multiple frames in the packet buffer, where the number of frames is limited by the amount of packet buffer memory and Ethernet frame size
Full store and forward
Partial store and forward programmable options
(partial store will cater for shorter latency requirements)
Support for Transmit TCP/IP checksum offload
Support for priority queuing
When a collision on the line occurs during transmission, the packet
will be automatically replayed directly from the packet buffer memory rather than having
to re-fetch through the system bus (full store and forward ONLY)
Received error packets are automatically dropped before any of the
packet is presented to the system bus (full store and forward ONLY), thus reducing
system bus activity
Supports manual RX packet flush capabilities
Optional RX packet flush when there is lack of system bus
