What is the benefit of server network cards?

Question

network hardware

Here is, for example, such a network card - Intel I210T1. It costs, on average, a little less than $100, and the pricing of this product is not entirely clear to me. How is it better than some D-Link on Realtek worth $10? VLAN support? But inexpensive setevukha can also do this.

Answer 1

1 the number of queues
2 more hardware support (more processing chip on the network card, less driver on the cpu)
