General Description

The EA-218E provides eight 10Mbps Ethernet network access interface ports.

The EA-218E provides the Ethernet MAC protocols, handles the local buffer memory interface and management, arbitrates among multiple priority queues, and interfaces with the XpressFlow Engine and other Access Controllers through the XpressFlow message passing protocol.
