Multiprocessing for network protocol stack

We have a proprietary OS, which is a variant of FreeBSD 2.x and has
extensive changes to protocol stack. We are planning to migrate to the
latest FreeBSD like 4.x or 5.x to get multiprocessor support. So I am
trying to evaluate these options.
How good the network protocol stack takes advantages of the multi
processor in 5.x ?
What parallelizing paradigm (Connection level parallelism / Packet level
parallelism / processor per message / predictable parallel protocol
processing) is implemented for network protocol stack (like TCP/IP) in
BSD 5.x ?
Are there any benchmarks on the performance analysis of network protocol
stack on multiprocessor system ?
Thanks,
VBabu
