I may be misunderstanding what you're referring to. It caught my attention since I'm working on a configuration to do what you say is unlikely, so I'll chime in for what it's worth. An option in Vyatta allows assigning CPU affinity to network adapters, since apparently seperate L2 caches can have a significant impact on throughput. Although much of their focus seems to be on commercial virtualization platforms, I do see quite a few forum posts with regard to KVM. Mabye this still qualifies as an edge case, but as for virtualized routing theirs seems to offer the most functionality. http://www.vyatta.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2697 -cb -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
