Greetings, lartc experts! ;-) I am presently researching if it is possible to *efficiently* use a machine with 2 AMD Opteron CPUs for traffic shaping with lartc. 1) OS: ATM it looks as if I can only use SUSE Linux 8 Enterprise Server for AMD 64bit platforms. Debian, OpenBSD and NetBSD are working on ports, but are not done yet or still experimental. Suse at least is stable (but costs real money! *sigh* so much for open source) and has a 64bit compiler. 2) Is lartc 64bit capable? I.e., can I compile lartc only to run as a 32 bit application or 64bit, too? Any experience here? 3) Is lartc capable of making use of 2 CPUs? This is probably a question (kernel?) threading. I managed to find a reference in the ML archives that it might be possible to "assign" ine CPU to one ethernet interface, but I don't think this is quite what I need. I'd like to know if the process can actually use both CPUs. In a nutshell: I need to find out if lartc can make use of the nice resources on this dual Opteron 64bit machine. If yes, this would save the machine from the terrible fate of becoming a Windoze file server! So please advise ;-) Cheers, -- Astrid Jekat Fa.
