Gigabit Ethernet is typically used for the following three purposes in high-performance computing cluster (HPC) applications :

inter-process communications (IPC): for applications that do not require low latency, high bandwidth interconnects, gigabit Ethernet can be used for communication between the compute nodes.
I/O : Ethernet can be used for file sharing and serving the data to compute nodes. This can be done simply using an NFS server or using parallel file system such as PVFS
Management and administration : Ethernet is used for out-of-band (ERA) and in-band (OMSA) management of the nodes in the cluster. It can also be used for job scheduling and monitoring.

The broadcom netxtreme II adapter is a new class of gigabit Ethernet (Gbe) and 10 Gbe converged network interface controller (c-nic) that can simultaneously perform accelerated data networking and storage networking on a standart Ethernet network. The c-nic offers acceleration for all popular protocols used in te data center, such as :

TCP Offload Engine (TOE) for accelerating TCP ocer GbE, 2.5 GbE, and 1- GbE
internet small computer systems interface (iSCSI) offload for accelerating network storage access featuring centralized boot functionality (iSCSI boot)

The broadcom netXtreme II gigabit Ethernet controller extended information SNMP extensible-agent (bcmif.dll) is designed for windows 2000 server, server 2003, 2008 SNMP service. It is required thah windows 2000 server snmp service is installed before installing the extensible-agent.

Broadcom netxtreme II gigabit Ethernet adapters support iSCSI boot to enable network boot of operating systems to diskless system. The iSCSI boot allows a windows or linux operating system boot from an iSCSI target machine located remotely over a standart IP network **broadcom
