Mike,
TCP/IP can be configured to dispatch device driver "work" on non-base CPUs
by coding the CPU <num> option on the DEVICE statement in PROFILE TCPIP.
Other than that it won't do anything with multiple processors.

Hi Folks,
Following up on our earlier discussion of multiple virtual CPU's for Linux,
will TCP/IP and/or SFS servers use multiple processors?
Here's my situation, I have 1 general purpose CP (about 421 MIPS) and 2
IFLs (about 500 MIPS each). We have excess capacity on the IFL side of the
house (ear-marked for future Linux use), and would love to use some of
those MIPS for TCP/IP and/or some of our SFS servers, both of whom can be a
bit "piggy" at times.
If I define one CP as BASE and 1 IFL as CPU 01, will TCP/IP and/or SFS use
both processors? I can then manage their relative use with SET SHARE.
-Mike
