About the Broadcom BCM957416A4160C 100GbE OCP NIC 3.0 Adapter
The Broadcom BCM957416A4160C 100GbE OCP NIC 3.0 Adapter is engineered for next-generation open compute environments, delivering dual-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in an OCP NIC 3.0 form factor optimized for mezzanine-based deployment within compatible server chassis. This adapter is designed for network engineers and infrastructure architects preparing to scale high-performance data center operations with standards-compliant, modular networking hardware.
Built on the Broadcom BCM57416 controller, the BCM957416A4160C combines enterprise-grade offload engines—including TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), Large Send Offload (LSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO), and comprehensive checksum offload for TCP, UDP, IPv4, and IPv6—to reduce CPU overhead and maximize throughput. The adapter supports flexible port speeds of 100GbE, 50GbE, and 25GbE per port, accommodating diverse network topologies and upgrade paths. With integrated SR-IOV virtualization support and multiple Virtual Functions, this NIC enables efficient resource sharing across virtualized environments running Linux, Microsoft Windows Server, or VMware ESXi. Management is simplified through MCTP and NC-SI interfaces, while IEEE 802.3x flow control, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, and Wake-on-LAN capabilities ensure compatibility with enterprise operational requirements.
