The following is mainly a capture of parts of multiple off-line discussions within members of the Crossbow team (Gopi, Thiru, Roamer, May-Lin, Thirumailai, Nitin, KB, ...), I thought I''d open it up to other participants. Crossbow''s core scheduling involves switching a NIC (or individual Rx rings on the NIC) to polling mode. The receive interrupt will become not only rarer, but more importantly outside the c...

I''ve been thinking about hardware that has multiple transmit rings ("tx resources"). We really should have a way to expose this up to the stack. And ideally, the stack should guarantee that a given flow will always be sent down using the same hardware tx resource. I''ve heard that crossbow will deliver this, but I can''t find evidence of it in the crossbow

Hi, I maintain a driver for a 10GbE nic which supports multiple hardware tx/rx rings. We can steer rx packets into rings using the "standard" NDIS6 Toeplitz hashing on TCP port numbers, IP addresses, etc. We can also steer packets based on MAC address. Would this NIC be considered to be capable of supporting crossbow? Also, can crossbow do things like steer outgoing packets to the
