ABSTRACT:
Provided are techniques for determining a timer value. An advised number of packets per interrupt for both receive and transmit directions of traffic is determined. Current timer values for both receive and transmit directions of traffic are adjusted based on the determined advised numbers of packets per interrupt. A new timer value to be used for both receive and transmit directions of traffic is calculated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
