Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing

This setting compensates for excessive Ethernet packet collisions on the network.

The default setting works best for most computers and networks. By enabling this feature, the network adapter dynamically adapts to the network traffic conditions. However, in some rare cases you might obtain better performance by disabling this feature. This setting forces a static gap between packets.

To change this setting in Intel PROSet:

This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the device’s Device Manager property sheet or in the Adapter Settings panel in Intel PROSet ACU.

To change this setting in Windows PowerShell, use the Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting cmdlet. For example:

Set-IntelNetAdapterSetting -Name "<adapter_name>" -DisplayName "Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing" -DisplayValue "Enabled"

Possible values for this setting are:

  • Enabled

  • Disabled
