Programming interface MAC filter without enabling PROMISC on an interface from user space.

2008-01-14 Thread Tom Judge
Hi, I have just started experimenting with OpenLLDP and come across a little bit of a nasty. When it opens the interface, it puts it into PROMISC mode, which I don't really want to happen. Is there any way to add the LLDP MAC address (01-80-C2-00-00-0E) to the interface mac filter from use

Linux SMP network performance measurements

2008-01-14 Thread Thierry Herbelot
Hello, a recent article (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scalability/?ca=dgr-lnxw02FasterLinuxNet) gives some measurements on various tweakings of an SMP machine with 4 Xeon processors (it *shows* a nice improvement when using more CPUs and more bonded Ethernet interfaces).
