Distribution of network card interrupts across processor cores - IT Blog

I will give an example of the distribution of interrupt network interfaces on the processor cores. For example, I’ll take a server with accel-ppp, 6Gb/s traffic, 500K + pps, nat with ipoe and 6000 dchp clients. Also, be sure to disable hyper-threading in the BIOS, since load balancing on virtual...

Interesting, not sure if it is practical though.

I enabled it on my servers and see a difference in throughput tests. It definitely makes a difference!

Got some comparative test results?
Edit: probably worthy of a Blog.

My initial tests were about 10% to 12% improvement using SDWAN software. I'll setup some decent tests in the next few days and do it properly,

I thought enabling polling instead of using interrupts gave the fastest throughput.
