Maybe I'm misunderstanding... won't it distribute the packet handling load to multiple cores, but then all those cores will contend trying to deliver those packets to the single socket? I was assuming that this'd be a net loss over just doing all the protocol handling on a single core. I haven't done any benchmarks yet. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
