-                                        throughput, at the expense of a slightly higher forwarding delay (the devices are polled 1000 times

+						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.
