I looked at the following document, it gives the overview of the 5.x changes but it has little information on parallelizing the protocol stack. There are only 3 sentences and which says different concepts like per-CPU split of packets and connections are used. I am looking for more details. "Predictable Parallel Protocol Processing" paradigm is useful in cases where predictable delay is of importance. Typically useful for the = applications like video-on-demand, distributed multi-player games and = video conferences. For more information refer the following paper - http://www.artes.uu.se/project/P2-9805.pdf VBabu -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-smp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-smp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of ext Joseph Koshy Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 6:33 PM To: Babu Venkatesh (Nokia-NET/MtView) Cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Multiprocessing for network protocol stack > latest FreeBSD like 4.x or 5.x to get multiprocessor support.

You must have already looked at the following presentation (it gives a good overview of the stuff in 5.x): http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/FreeBSD-5.3-Networking.pdf > What parallelizing paradigm (Connection level parallelism / Packet = level > parallelism / processor per message / predictable parallel protocol > processing) is implemented for network protocol stack (like TCP/IP) in > BSD 5.x ?
