NAPI poll does not happen in an interrupt. Doing things in interrupts is the source of problems that NAPI is trying to solve.

Other than that, please read the code and NAPI paper... :)

Where can I find it?

In the link Robert Ollson gave to you (paper), and the Linux kernel (code).

Seems like FreeBSD is now getting on this train too. Someone sent me this link.
