Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA)
Overview
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) directly connects the Memory Controller Hub to the network controller. With CSA-based motherboards, network data can be transferred at a much higher rate with lower latency. This new interface performs networking tasks more efficiently, achieves bi-directional gigabit speeds and eliminates network traffic through the PCI bus.
