Abstract

An apparatus which comprises two or more moderation timers associated with an interrupt vector is presented. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises two or more interrupt vectors and moderation timers are set with different interrupt rates. An interrupt vector logic unit sends an interrupt vector if there is an interrupt event from the queue associated with a moderation timer and the moderation timer expires.
