> This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.
