Is it possible to give a process an attribute that would tend to force a processor into dedicating itself to it under SMP? A recent paper given at SigComm97 has revived my interest in using FreeBSD as a router platform. Check out: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm97/papers/p192.pdf It would be interesting to see how this can be implemented in an SMP environment. I essence holding the routing table lookup in cache on one processor during high demand. The implications of this paper are, to say the least, interesting. A hack of gated with these algorithms and SMP? -- From: Joseph T.
