Subject: NAPI quota and budget

Hello:

I am a new subscriber to netdev. Hope my first post is properly done.

I have a question about the quota per poll in NAPI.  Any idea how the
quota of 64 packets per poll per NIC was selected?  Why 64, not any
other number?  Is there science behind this number.

And the same goes for the budget of 300?

Was that done based on expermintation?

Thanks much in advance,

-- Salah
