In fact you CAN use virtual processors made available by HT to assign interrupts to them. This solution works well. I've seen P4-HT hauling 500.000 packets per second, with BGP and 70% utilisation. cheers, Marek Kierdelewicz _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
