Polling Linux

[WernerRätscher]

Hi Eddie,

thank you for your hints regarding the UDP generator. By the way, I have
some questions regarding the click router:

1. Is there any possibility yet (or in near future) to use other NICs
(e.g. 3com, Matrox) for the polling mode than those with a DEC chipset?
2. In your performance tests you have a scenario called Polling Linux.
Is it so that you could increase the performance of the Linux networking
(by avoiding interrupts) and simultaneously use all of its features
(specially its QoS features like TC and CBQ)? How does such a Polling
Linux configuration look like (e.g.  PollDevice(eth0) -> ToLinux)?

Kindly Regards

Werner
