This helps reduce the burden on the CPU as it can process multiple packets during the same interruption. The Intel Gigabit CT Network adapter provides a configuration parameter to manually adjust the NIC interrupt moderation rate. By default the NIC driver sets this to Adaptive where the interrupt rate automatically balances Shad-o-Box HS User Manual p. 14... - Page 15 Not all network boards allow increases to their receive buffer count. Among those that do, different versions will have different maximum receive descriptor values. We recommend increasing the receive buffer size to the maximum permitted by the network card, in order to provide more buffering capacity when needed. Shad-o-Box HS User Manual p. 15...
