<strong>Use device polling</strong><br>
Device polling is a technique that lets the system periodically poll network devices for new
data instead of relying on interrupts. This can reduce CPU load and therefore increase
throughput, at the expense of a slightly higher forwarding delay (the devices are polled 1000 times
per second). Not all NICs support polling; see the pfSense homepage for a list of supported cards.
Device polling is a technique that lets the system periodically poll network devices for new data instead of relying on interrupts. This prevents your webGUI, SSH, etc. from being inaccessible due to interrupt floods when under extreme load. Generally this is not recommended.
