network questions


Hi,

I have some questions about network stack. Since I would like to change
the processor frequency to reduce the power consumption, I'm wondering
how it happens if the driver and the network stack are too slow. Is
there any timeout which may cause a network failure when the driver is
too slow while providing packet to the higher network layers?

A related question is:
what is the meaning of CYGPKG_NET_NUM_WAKEUP_EVENTS?
Could this parameter be important when the driver became too slow?

Thanks a lot!
Andrea.
