    SubjectRe: Re: routing/shaping vs smp
    I'm have one gigabit nic with static IRQ (2,000/s)
    I have very high CPU load from HTB shaping I think
    Now I have near 80Mbit traffic going throw my shaper (IMQ,
    two interfaces) and 50-70% CPU in system (now P4 3.0GHz)
    So I can't install really powerfull cpu (I don't know which
    cpu is really more powerfull)
    So I think about SMP
    2.4 can't use second (and other proccessors) for
    routing/shaping
    Is 2.6 do?
