31 <title>Description
</title>
34 This page contains a summary of some performance tuning techniques
35 that this system is using.
40 <title>SMP Affinity
</title>
43 This system is automatically using SMP affinity for every physical
44 network controller, if supported.
48 A processor core is assigned to handle all interrupts of a certain
49 network controller which will result in minimising cache misses,
50 reducing network latency and quite possibly increasing throughput.
54 The algorithm is trying to balance all network controllers across
59 See /proc/interrups for the distribution of interrupts.
