This can reduce CPU load and therefore increase - throughput, at the expense of a slightly higher forwarding delay (the devices are polled 1000 times - per second).

This prevents your webGUI, SSH, etc. from being inaccessible due to interrupt floods when under extreme load. Generally this is not recommended. + Not all NICs support polling; see the pfSense homepage for a list of supported cards. </td> </tr> |
