+Scaling in the Linux Networking Stack
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a set of complementary techniques in the Linux
+networking stack to increase parallelism and improve performance (in
+throughput, latency, CPU utilization, etc.) for multi-processor systems.
Why not just leave-out the parenthetical lest some picky pedant find a
specific example where either of those three are not improved?
As I'm sure you're aware, there is often a trade-off between throughput
and latency. It might be useful to provide some guidelines for
optimising each of the above.
Yes. I just worry about taking *too* many steps down the slippery slope
and ending-up ballooning into a broad systems tuning tutorial.
