1. A method of operating intelligent network interface circuitry to facilitate the tunneling of packets between at least one process, executing on a host computer, and a peer via a network, via the network interface circuitry, comprising:

  • receiving packets from the process executing on the host computer;

    managing modulation event tokens, including receiving and providing modulation event tokens;

    processing modulation events;

    deciding whether to transmit the received packets out to the network in association with modulation event processing;

    transmitting the received packets out to the network based on the deciding step; and

    based on a result of the modulation events processing step, causing modulation event tokens to be fed back for receipt by the modulation event tokens managing step,whereby the packets are tunneled through the network interface circuitry and the transmission of the packets is modulated out to the network.
