Re: 10GE router resource

Hi Chris

Could you share your opensouce 10G info for me?

For the past 8 months, I have problem to use the 10G
in linux system. I have to continuous to upgrade the
hardwares...

my existing system is using  the new CPU now, 4G
memory, 1 x 10G card plus several 1G NICs.
Intel 2 Ext CPU X9650  @ 3.00GHz
All CPU is in 100% used when it is in 4G totally
(download + upload). 

thank you so much
