HI!

Does ipfw2 (box does use DEVICE_POLLING) on -CURRENT benefit from 2 CPUs?

We have quite the same incoming / outgoing traffic here, but I don't
know the actual design of ipfw2 or the bridging-code, so I
wondered if that would benefit from a 2nd CPU, or if the CPUs lock
theirselves to the inefficiency.

Comments?  Stats?  Already doing this somewhere? :)

Thanks

Alex
