FAQs

Q: What makes the ConnectX-6 Dx a SmartNIC?
A: The ConnectX-6 Dx features ASAP2 technology that offloads virtual switch and virtual router data plane processing from the CPU to the adapter's ASIC. This hardware acceleration delivers orders of magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions while freeing CPU cores for application workloads.

Q: Does this adapter support both SR-IOV and VirtIO?
A: Yes, the ConnectX-6 Dx supports both SR-IOV and VirtIO acceleration in hardware, allowing customers to choose the best virtualization approach for their environment. The adapter can accommodate up to 8 million offload rules for cloud networking workloads.

Q: What encryption capabilities are included?
A: This SKU includes crypto-enabled inline acceleration engines that offload IPsec and TLS encryption/decryption for data-in-motion, plus AES-XTS offload for data-at-rest. It also features hardware root-of-trust and secure boot capabilities for enhanced endpoint security.

Q: Can this adapter run at speeds lower than 100GbE?
A: Yes, each QSFP56 port supports multiple Ethernet speeds including 10/25/40/50/100 Gbps, providing flexibility for mixed-speed environments. The adapter uses PAM4 signaling for 50/100G speeds and NRZ for 10/25G speeds.

Q: What deployment scenarios is the ConnectX-6 Dx best suited for?
A: The ConnectX-6 Dx is ideal for high-performance data center servers running virtualized workloads, software-defined networking, storage arrays with NVMe-oF, AI/ML training clusters requiring RDMA, and security-sensitive applications needing inline encryption at line rate.
