| |
| * 10, 100 and 1000 Mbit/sec links |
| * Auto negotiation |
| * Half/full duplex |
| * Promiscuous mode |
| * TX and RX checksum offloading |
| * MAC address filtering |

| * :ref:`IEEE 802.1AS (gPTP) <gptp_interface>` |
| * :ref:`IEEE 802.1Qav (credit based shaping) <8021Qav>` |
| * :ref:`LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) <lldp_interface>` |
| |
| Not all Ethernet device drivers support all of these features. You can |
| see what is supported by ``net iface`` net-shell command. It will print |
| currently supported Ethernet features. |
