Is the routing/filtering code in the linux kernel able to take much advantage of SMP? I'm building a router that I'd like to be able to handle at least 450mbit/sec (64bit 66mhtz PCI slots of course) and be able to apply QoS (basic prio queues) and htb/etc. traffic shaping to. Just wondering if it's worth grabbing an extra processor for the box, or if it will largely go unused. Thanks!
