    This topic may be going on in multiple threads, so apologies if I
    am missing something. In this thread I notice a reply with the
    benchmark:

         Here's one benchmark, showing UDP packet/second generation
         rate from userland on a dual xeon machine under various
         target loads:

         Desired Optimal 5.x-UP 5.x-SMP 4.x-UP 4.x-SMP
          50000 50000 50000 50000 50000 50000
          75000 75000 75001 75001 75001 75001
         100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000
         125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000
         150000 150000 150015 150014 150015 150015
         175000 175000 175008 175008 175008 169097
         200000 200000 200000 179621 181445 169451
         225000 225000 225022 179729 181367 169831
         250000 250000 242742 179979 181138 169212
         275000 275000 242102 180171 181134 169283
         300000 300000 242213 179157 181098 169355

    That does show results for both single-processor (5.x-UP 4.x-UP)
    and multi- processor (5.x-SMP, 4.x-SMP) benchmarks. It may be
    that he ignored the table as soon as he read "dual Xeon".

    But when he asked for a "pointer or reference", I was expecting
    to see a URL which pointed to some additional benchmarks. I did
    not notice any URL's in any of your replies in this thread. Did
    you think that you had included a URL in some reply, or were you
    referring to the above benchmark? Or did I just miss the reply
    which included that URL?

    Mind you, the above benchmark is very encouraging, so I am not
    complaining about it. I am only wondering if there were additional
    benchmarks written up. Well, I am also wondering what the reason
    is for both a "desired" and "optimal" column in the above. When
    would "desired" ever be different than "optimal"? :-)
