Adaptive Interrupt Frequency
The adapter driver intelligently adjusts host interrupt frequency based on traffic conditions,
to increase overall application throughput. When traffic is light, the adapter driver interrupts
the host for each received packet, minimizing latency. When traffic is heavy, the adapter
issues one host interrupt for multiple, back-to-back incoming packets, preserving host CPU
cycles.
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS), a component of the Broadcom teaming software,
is an integrated utility that provides useful information about each network adapter that is
installed in your system. The BACS utility also enables you to perform detailed tests,
diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well as to modify property values and view
traffic statistics for each adapter. BACS is used on Windows operating systems to configure
teaming and to add VLANs. See Using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite for detailed
information and instructions.
