Hi David
I am using 2.6.12 now, but still experiment a high number of interrupts per second on
my tg3 NIC, on an dual Opteron based machine.
(about 7300 interrupts per second generated by one interface eth0, 100Mbit/s link)
Is there anything I can try to tune the coalescing ?
Being able to handle 100 packets each interrupt instead of one or two would certainly help.
I dont mind about latency. But of course I would like not to drop packets :)
But maybe the BCM5702 is not able to delay an interrupt ?
Thank you
Eric Dumazet
