Interrupt Moderation

The Interrupt Moderation feature allows you to limit the rate of interrupts to
the CPU during packet transmission and packet reception. When this
feature is enabled, interrupts are handled as a group so that the CPU
utilization decreases; however, the latency may increase.

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

1. Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 43.

2. Select Interrupt Moderation in the Property box.

The Interrupt Moderation page is displayed as shown in Figure 22.

3. Select one of the following options:

Disabled— The Interrupt Moderation feature is disabled

Enabled— The Interrupt Moderation feature is enabled. This is the
default setting.

4. Click OK.
