## Summary description

Internal server network adapter with Broadcom BCM5720 LAN controller, compatible with PCI Express 2.0 host slots. Provides two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (1000 Mbit/s) with support for IEEE 802.3az, 802.3ap and 802.1as standards and Wake-on-LAN. Designed for wired connectivity in servers and workstations; supports Windows, Linux and other OS for reliable wired networking.

## Long description

The Broadcom BCM5720-2P Ethernet Adapter is a dual-port 1 Gigabit wired network card designed for enterprise and data center servers. It provides full line-rate throughput on all ports and connects to the host via a PCI Express interface. The adapter supports IEEE networking standards and includes hardware features for precise time synchronization and virtualization-aware packet handling.
Advantages
The BCM5720-2P delivers consistent 10/100/1000 Mbps performance across both ports and supports multiple hardware queues and MSI-X vectors to optimize multicore server throughput. Built-in I/O Virtualization (IOV) support enables compatibility with VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ. Integrated timestamping and a high-precision clock allow implementation of IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS time synchronization in hardware.
Suitable for
Enterprise and data center servers requiring reliable 1 Gbit/s connectivity
Virtualized environments using VMware NetQueue or Microsoft VMQ
Applications needing IEEE 1588 / IEEE 802.1AS hardware time synchronization
Multicore systems benefiting from multiple receive/transmit queues

How to use
Install the BCM5720-2P into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible server motherboard, secure the bracket, and connect the network cables to the front-panel ports. Install the appropriate Broadcom drivers for your operating system or use vendor-supplied drivers included with your server distribution. Configure link settings and enable virtualization or time-synchronization features in the driver or management utility as required by your environment.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance in multicore and virtualized servers, use the latest Broadcom driver and firmware, enable MSI-X and hardware queueing, and configure VMQ/NetQueue according to your hypervisor vendor's guidelines. Use shielded cabling and proper network switch configurations to maintain signal integrity and time-synchronization accuracy.
