What are you trying to achieve ? In general, the scheduler needs to know the state of all flows to perform correct scheduling of traffic. You could in principle split the load on multiple threads under specific, very restrictive conditions (each thread runs a different scheduler, they cannot share the excess bandwidth, and the total bw does not exceed the link's capacity, each scheduler has a different queue on the NIC). cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
