I'm no networking hardware expert, but I do know that some cards are
better than other.  Anyone answering your question would probably find
your dmesg helpful in doing so.  The output of 'vmstat -i' may be
useful too.

CPU of 50% for Interrupts?

[Roger Schreiter]

Hi,

top show a CPU usage of 50% for interrupts, when
my router forwards 1.5 Mbit/s of IP traffic.

My router is using OpenBSD 4.5, and running with
a  VIA Eden Processor 1000MHz, which should imho be
able to handle that amount of IP traffic as router.

dmesg tells, that ACPI is not configured.

Are these values ok, or should I search for something
configured wrong?


Regards,
Roger.
