Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic NOTE: In this case, use a lower number. As the issue addressed by this parameter has never been observed on Intel Architecture platforms, it should not be used on Intel platforms. All driver structures, in-memory queues, and receive buffers will be allocated on the node specified.
Instead, use the Speed and Duplex parameters previously mentioned to force the adapter to the same speed and duplex. Allows Phy to turn off in lower power states.
If such problems are encountered, you may disable the irqbalance daemon or upgrade to a newer kernel. The user can turn off this parameter in supported chipsets. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Gigabit family of adapters is e Multiqueue In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one for "other" interrupts such as link status change and errors.
This has a possible negative performance impact, which may be compensated for by allocating more descriptors using the TxDescriptors module parameter. This is caused by the way the Linux kernel reports this stressed condition. The driver has two adaptive modes setting 1 or 3 in which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic that it receives.

If you have a machine with a BMC enabled but cannot receive IPMI traffic after loading or enabling the driver, try disabling this feature. Receive interrupt reduction can improve CPU efficiency if properly tuned for specific network traffic.
These correspond to the following product names: If the link partner is forced either full or halfDuplex defaults to half-duplex. The install location listed above is the default location.
The Linux Base Drivers support the 2. The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into classes. There is a known hardware compatibility igvbf on some systems with RHEL3 kernels. MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. This reduces interrupt load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
Linux Driver for Intel® Gigabit Network Connections
For ivbvf related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. If you believe your system needs to disable this style of interrupt, the driver can be built and installed with the command:.
After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not working, verify that you have installed jgbvf correct driver. The user can enable it at compile time to add support for LRO from the driver.
The value at offset 0xe de has bit 0 unset. If this occurs, the driver will report a "TX Timeout" and reset the adapter, after which the transmit flow will restart, though data may have stalled for as much as 10 seconds before it resumes.
In this mode, which operates the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to for traffic in class "Lowest latency". Forcing master or forcing slave mode will improve time-to-link. For igbbvf where low latency is vital such as cluster or grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1.
When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send linix following message to the system log displayed by the "dmesg" command:.

Kernel panics and instability may be observed on any MSI-X hardware if you use irqbalance with kernels between 2. LLI allows for immediate generation of an interrupt upon processing receive packets that match certain criteria as set by the parameters described below. If you currently have the e driver installed and need to install ee, perform the following:. This example applies to the Red Hat distributions; other distributions may store this setting in a different pinux.
