==History==
NAPI was an over-three-year effort by Alexey Kuznetsov, Jamal Hadi Salim and Robert Olsson. Initial effort to include NAPI was met with resistance by some members of the community, however [[David S. Miller|David Miller]] worked hard to ensure NAPI's inclusion.
A lot of real world testing was done in the [[Uppsala University|Uppsala university]] network before inclusion. In fact, [https://www.slu.se www.slu.se] was the first production NAPI-based OS and is still powered to this day by NAPI-based Bifrost/Linux routers. The [https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/pktgen pktgen] [[Packet generator|traffic generator]] was also born around this time. Pktgen was extensively used to test NAPI scenarios not induced by real world traffic.
