I'd like to tune interrupt rate of nxge to decrease cpu usage.
So, I need to know how long a NIU hardware tick is, which
is used to describe rxdma-intr-time.
Does anyone have information on that.

Here is the description from nxge.conf

#------- Receive DMA Configuration ----------------------------
#
#  rxdma-intr-time
#       Interrupts after this number of NIU hardware ticks have
#       elapsed since the last packet was received.
#       A value of zero means no time blanking (Default = 8).
#
# rxdma-intr-pkts
#       Interrupt after this number of packets have arrived since
#       the last packet was serviced. A value of zero indicates
#       no packet blanking (Default = 20).
#
# Default Interrupt Blanking parameters.
#
# rxdma-intr-time = 8;
# rxdma-intr-pkts = 20;
#
#
#------- Classification and Load Distribution Configuration ------

thanks in advance
