Thanks to the generous testing of Rick Jones from HP, we have some externally published numbers to back up this patch. Please see the updated paper at ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/briefs/nic_latency_vs_tput.txt or http://tinyurl.com/yd2ufj We would also like to thank Robin Humble for his feedback and input on this patch. Testing and comments welcome, particularly from anyone running latency sensitive testing, where they might want to test with the "InterruptThrottleRate=1" module parameter.
