No academical research - I'm jjust curious :-) The cache interaction is of course big concern, but the general architecture described in the papers sidestep this by leaving the actual data copy for application core(s) - for both TX and RX. Please read the papers first. And of course this was meant for SMPs, I guess that for NUMA machines the interaction with memory subsystem might hamper scalability of such approach. For uniprocessors and smaller machines the traditional stack would most likely still be a better choice. > > Alex Both papers are not really applicable to current Linux. One is from 2004 on 2.4 and the other is about AIX. This predates all of the Linux work on using multiple queues and packet steering. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
