   6 == DESCRIPTION
   7 This page contains a summary of some performance tuning techniques
   8 that this system is using.
   9
  10 === SMP Affinity
  11
  12 This system is automatically using SMP affinity for every physical
  13 network controller, if supported.
  14
  15 A processor core is assigned to handle all interrupts of a certain
  16 network controller which will result in minimising cache misses,
  17 reducing network latency and quite possibly increasing throughput.
  18
  19 The algorithm is trying to balance all network controllers across
  20 all processors.
  21
  22 See /proc/interrupts for the distribution of interrupts.
