SMP in regards to routing/filtering

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey, quick (stupid) question..

	Is the routing/filtering code in the linux kernel able to take much
advantage of SMP?  I'm building a router that I'd like to be able to handle
at least 450mbit/sec (64bit 66mhtz PCI slots of course) and be able to apply
QoS (basic prio queues) and htb/etc. traffic shaping to.

Just wondering if it's worth grabbing an extra processor for the box, or if
it will largely go unused.

Thanks!
