MPOGD: Harlan, thank you for taking time to discuss your work with Bigfoot Networks and the Killer NIC Gaming Network Card. Can you start us off by describing what the Killer NIC card is and how it works?
Harlan Beverly: The Killer NIC is a gaming Network Card designed to reduce lag associated with online gaming. Basically, Killer bypasses the slow and ancient Windows Network Stack by offloading Sockets into Killer’s own NPU. Bypassing Windows has myriad benefits - lower latencies, less CPU utilization, and even higher FPS rates.
