What is NIC?
A Network Interface Controller (NIC) is a hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. It provides the physical interface for networking, enabling the computer to communicate with other devices on the network. NICs can be integrated into the motherboard or exist as a separate expansion card. They handle tasks like data encapsulation and media access control, and are essential for wired and wireless network connections.
What other technologies are related to NIC?
NIC Complementary Technologies
DIMM
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) is the system's RAM. NICs often use RAM for buffering packets, so RAM is complementary.
CPU
The CPU processes the data received or to be sent by the NIC. Offload operations by modern NICs may reduce the CPU load, but the CPU is generally still required.
PCIe
PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a standard interface for connecting the NIC to the motherboard. A NIC must implement the PCIe standard to communicate with the system.
