Hi Ted,

                 Thanks! Now, the e1000g document does not mention the default 
interrupt throttling rate for opensolaris. I understand what you are saying 
regarding the interrupt throttling rate, but I am very confused about this 
whole thing. I read here 
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2254/e1000g-7d?a=view) that for e1000g, 
'MaxNumReceivePackets' defaults to 32, so it cannot handle more than 32 packets 
per interrupt. It looks like there are far too many factors affecting the 
interrupt coalescing. Is there a way to empirically observe the coalescing rate?

Thank you,
Vishal
