Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) was a mechanism used in the
Intel Hub Architecture to increase the bandwidth available between a
network card and the CPU. It consists of connecting directly the network
controller to the Memory Controller Hub (northbridge), instead of to the
I/O Controller Hub (southbridge) through the PCI bus, which was the
common practice until that point. The technology was only used in Intel
chipsets released in 2003, and was largely seen as a stop-gap measure to
allow Gigabit Ethernet chips to run at full-speed until the arrival of a
faster expansion bus (it was also used to connect the Wireless
networking chips in Intel''s Centrino mobile platform). To Intel''s
credit though, CSA-connected Ethernet chips did show consistently higher
transfer rates than comparable PCI cards. |
