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?
