Your performance is going depend more on the bus speed and type of NIC used. SMP might help but only if you assign the IRQ for each NIC to a different processor. Network performance is more dependant on memory and bus bandwidth than processor (at least with current hardware). _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
