OK to focus on Intel platform (must be reflected in the file name), but it should be open to other NICs.

For other NICs, e.g. Chelsio, Cisco= , Mellanox, the Intel platform/CPU settings could be very similar, but = the specific NIC's configurations may differ from each vendor.

Note: Get an high end NIC means getting a high p= acket rate, since currently 1G and 10G NICs can achieve line rate easil= y, but 40G NIC would be more complicated, so take it as an example.=20 Yes the Intel NIC is an example.
