You can bind interrupts to individual CPU's so that say your device interrupt ( an eg eth0 IRQ20) will only go to one particular CPU, which should almost eliminate the reordering windows.. If your device interrupt is your_irq_# you can tie that to cpu_# by echo cpu_# >> /proc/irq/your_irq_#/smp_affinity That assumes that all the packets from your remote app are coming in over that network/device (if not, tie the others too)... thanks, Nivedita - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
