Both are the important issues. You move the bulk of the packet processing work to the end cores of the system, yes. But you do so with an enormously SMP friendly queue data structure so that it does not matter at all that the packet is received on one cpu, yet processed in socket context on another. If you elide either part of the implementation, you miss the entire point of net channels. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
