I am trying to figure out the distribution of the number of packets that the receive interrupt processes. With each interrupt, the NIC would transfer a number of packets together, and that number would depend on the coalescing factor. In the case of e1000g, rx interrupt coalescing is affected by the following three parameters:
- intr_throttling_rate, or - the combination of rx_intr_delay and rx_intr_abs_delay So I thought that before I delve into the code to figure out the details, I should first develop an understanding of how the received packets are mapped to the mblks. Also, if someone could tell me whether I could use dtrace to access the mblks, and figure out the number of received packets. Can this be done for each interrupt?
