What is the meaning of "Receive Throttle" setting for vmxnet3 nic ?
For example here it says :
VMware Tools 10.2.5 Release Notes
Receive Throttle: The default value of the receive throttle is set to 30.
what does 30 mean ? is there any manual for the vmxnet3 nic ? could it mean limit to 30 packets every millisecond, i.e. maximum 30,000 packets / second (reading ndis 6.2 microsoft docs).
additionally, with vmware tool driver 1.8.3.1 of September 2018, why is this option not listed in the network card options : Recv Segment Coalescing
does anybody have any clue what is the meaning of "receive throttle" for vmx net 3 nic ?
is it used in order to limit packets handled in each DPC in order to avoid BSOD ?
Receive throttle limits the number of packets processed in a single DPC (Deferred Procedure Call). Without the limit vCPU thread can be over-allocated and lead to hang issues.
