When the ethernet driver's interrupt is on CPU1, the ping response is *very* slow without the fix. Pings taking 400-10000ms. With a 2 cpu machine, every other ifconfig lands the ethernet on CPU1. With the fix, you should see no difference in ping times between the CPUs. Kris Corwin Mission Critical Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]
