Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Generally, this disclosure relates to adaptive interrupt moderation. A method may include determining, by a host device, a number of connections between the host device and one or more link partners based, at least in part, on a connection identifier associated with each connection; determining, by the host device, a new interrupt rate based at least in part on a number of connections; updating, by the host device, an interrupt moderation timer with a value related to the new interrupt rate; and configuring the interrupt moderation timer to allow interrupts to occur at the new interrupt rate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: determining, by a host device, a number of connections between the host device and one or more link partners based on, at least in part, a connection identifier for each connection; determining, by the host device, a new interrupt rate based at least in part on a number of connections; updating, by the host device, an interrupt moderation timer with a value related to the new interrupt rate, and; configuring the interrupt moderatio…
