Interrupt Moderation

The Interrupt Moderation feature allows you to control the rate of interrupts
to the CPU during packet transmission and reception. When this feature is
enabled, interrupts are handled as a group so that the CPU utilization
decreases; however, the latency may increase. To specify the interrupt
rate, see“Max IRQ per Sec” on page 59.

Note

Windows 8 does not support the Max IRQ per Sec property. See
“Advanced Properties for Windows 8” on page 46.

To enable or disable the Interrupt Moderation feature, do the following:

1. Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 47.

2. Select Interrupt Moderation in the Property box.

The Interrupt Moderation page is displayed as shown in Figure 29.
