Hello
I have question, currently using linux box as router. It only route packets.
Currently there is 80k packets/sec and this cause 90% CPU usage on
Intel Celeron 3ghz CPU.
Did multiprocessor system like 2x XEON DP 3.4ghz will divide CPU
usage between 2 CPU and will allow double routing performance ?
It will improve performance if irqs are balanced, but not double. Also,
90% seems like a lot. If you use firewalling (many linear rules) and qos
(many linear u32 filter rules), they will cost a lot of performance, you
will se that with top, on soft interrupts (si). I suggest you to use
intel gigabit cards on pci64.
