Hello,
I have a machine with 2 dual core CPUs. This machine runs Fedora Core 6.
I have two Intel e1000 GigaBit network cards on this machine; I use bonding so
that the machine assigns the same IP address to both NICs ;
It seems to me that bonding is configured OK, bacuse when running:
"cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0"
I get:
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.0.3 (March 23, 2006)
Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin)
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
Slave Interface: eth0
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 1
Permanent HW addr: .....
Slave Interface: eth1
MII Status: up
Link Failure Count: 1
Permanent HW addr: ....
(And the Permanent HW addr is diffenet in these two entries).
I send a large amount of packets to this machine (more than 20,000 in
a second).
cat /proc/interrupts shops something like this:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
50: 3359337 0 0 0 PCI-MSI eth0
58: 49 3396136 0 0 PCI-MSI eth1
CPU0 and CPU1 are of the first CPU as far as I understand ; so
this means as far as I understand that the second CPU (which has CPU3
and CPU4) does not handle
interrupts of the arrived packets; Can I somehow change it so the second
CPU will also handle network interrupts of receiving packets on the nic ?
Can I assign one CPU to eth0 and the second CPU to eth1 ?
Regards,
Mark
