Does the linux kernel use dual processors for network coding such as for a briding firewall system whith ipchains rules running on it--e.g. using the ipchains bridge patches.
I want to build a briding firewall but don't want it to stop dropping packets so, for example dual 1G intel system with 1G ram and 1 u160 9GB scsi drive and 3 network interfaces 2 for bridge and 1 for maintenance. will this work better than for example a single 1Ghz processor machine in similar confiuration
