network performance

[Stefan Lambrev]

Greetings Kris,

If you are still interested here is the output of pmcstat on quad core, 
when acting as bridge http://89.186.204.158/hwpmc-p4-bridge.txt
With your kernel the bridge can't handle more then 400k incoming 
packets, but I noticed that netisr2 is not active at all
in bridge configurations.
With 7.0RC1 in bridge configuration the server is able to handle more 
then 1mil incoming packets/s.
