Advanced in-line packet processing is possible by the flexible, multi-channel host-based retransmit feature. Host-based Retransmit assumes that the packets are captured to the host before being retransmitted.
The Host-based Retransmit feature is capable of full line rate retransmit on all ports. It enables the host to perform functions to process/prepare the packet streams to be transmitted. Host-based Retransmit can perform at full line rate providing packets are prepared and sent to the adapter at full line rate.
