Correct. The v3.x x86 routers we have running do show multiple CPUs. For example we have a handful of 1U servers with dual Xeon 3GHz CPUs deployed as CPE routers for a few new larger accounts and they show four processors. We are running BGP with these accounts and the additional CPU support does make a notable difference.
For example with a single CPU processor count the Winbox GUI will show 100% CPU utilization while pulling the approximately 270k routes. With a two CPU count the utilization while pulling down full tables is 50% and with a four CPU count the utilization is 25%. This chart shows the dual Xeon 3GHz CPU at 1113. Our most recent x86 MikroTik routers are using the Q9550 CPU at 4076 and the X3360 CPU that rates at 4251. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 2:57 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] MikroTik Multi-GigE and greater throughput...
