dear professor luigi,
i have some numbers, I am filtering 773Kpps with kipfw using 60% of CPU and
system using the rest, this system is a 8core at 2.4Ghz, but only one core
is in use
in this next round of tests, my NIC is now an avoton with igb(4) driver,
currently with 4 queues per NIC (total 8 queues for kipfw bridge)
i have read in your papers we should expect something similar to 1.48Mpps
how can I benefit from the other CPUs which are completely idle? I tried
CPU Affinity (cpuset) kipfw but system CPU usage follows userland kipfw so
I could not set one CPU to userland while other for system

can you please enlighten?
