Good Day,

One firewall I have access to uses polling(4) to forward
traffic between two fxp interfaces. (4.9-STABLE)

When forwarding at ~70 Mbps top still shows 100% idle time
as the polling(4) code runs in the system's idle process.

Is there a way to get the real processor usage including
the time spent on polling?

Best Regards,
Markus
