The app uses several thresholds in the ring to determine the frequency, being 96 the highest one, when frequency should be highest. The problem is that the difference between this value and the ring size is not big enough (128 - 96 = 32 descriptors), which means that if the descriptors are not replenished quick enough, queue might not be busy, but the app would think that it is, because 96th descriptor is set. Therefore, by increasing this gap (increasing the RX ring size), we make sure that this false measurement will not happen.
