SMP'ers
I setup a Linux box at work to host user home directories. It serves several
hundred users, 100+ workstations (Linux on the desktop, baby) and consistantly
churns out the packets.

If I am reading this right the NIC card has handled 936,644,521
interrupts. This seems extraordinarily high since the machine had been up 42
days, sits on a switched network of TCP/IP talking boxes and is backed up to a
local tape device.
Here is the top of the 'top'...
