-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I wonder if anyone has run tc on an e.g. dual processor system? As far as I know under linux-2.6 it is possible that two processors receive and process packets of one NIC. Is this right? And if yes, does it work fine? Any hint is welcome!

There are several locks in packet processing code that span all processors though, so it''s not entirely separate, only mostly so. -- Naked _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

Do you mean does it work as well as a single processor machine, or are you expecting some kind of performance increase ? (And if so, how would you measure it anyway) Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
