OK. I'm about special network tweaks or something like this. For
example, for FreeBSD there is a sysctl tweaks that give zero CPU load on
100 Mbps traffic with PRO1000/PT NIC, and about 10% CPU load without
these tweaks on same hardware and in same conditions.

The only limitation I've seen lately to OpenBSD pushing packets is how
many interrupts it can handle. I don't know if 5.0 has helped with
this but 4.9 still appeared to be limited to CPU0 for processing
interrupts.

5.0 may be able to do this or close to it as long as you aren't load up lots of

the intel or broadcom gig nics should both be in the game here.....

Is it possible to make 1 Mpps router (BGP and routing between
several 1GBE links) with standard x86 CPU such as Xeon or Opteron
and "accelerated" NICs like Intel PRO1000/PT? All with latest stable
OpenBSD, of course :) Any suggestions, tweaks, special techniques
for that case, any documentation, please?
