A plurality of packets associated with a plurality of protocols are received, wherein the plurality of packets are to be processed by a plurality of processors. Packets associated with a first protocol are sent to be processed by at least one of the plurality of processors before sending packets associated with a second protocol to be processed, in response to determining that the packets associated with the first protocol have a higher priority for processing than the packets associated with the first protocol.

Prioritization of network traffic

In a receive-side scaling compatible environment, techniques to provide at least one recovery receive queue for any receive queue that is full or transferring traffic at too slow a rate.

Techniques to provide recovery receive queues for flooded queues

Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture for adjusting interrupt levels. A current system interrupt rate at a computational device is determined, wherein the current system interrupt rate is a sum of interrupt rates from a plurality of interrupt generating agents. The current system interrupt rate is compared with at least one threshold interrupt rate associated with the computational device. Based on the comparison, an interrupt moderation level is adjusted at an interrupt generating agent of the plurality of interrupt generating agents.
