--movZSYdJ761vCHaE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Last week, at the Linux.conf.au in Dunedin, Van Jacobson presented some slides about work he has been doing rearchitecting the Linux network stack. He claims to have reduced the CPU usage by 80% and doubled network throughput (he expects more, but it was limited by memory bandwidth). The approach looks like it would work on FreeBSD as well. I spoke to him and he confirmed. He's currently trying to get the code released as open source, but in the meantime his slides are up on http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/vj/. Yes, this is my web site. The conference organizers are going to put it up on their web site soon, but in the meantime he's asked me to put it were I can. Comments?
