</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=129215621-31102007><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have a box
with 12 bridges on it, each of which has 2 ports.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=129215621-31102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the traffic
level on the box reaches around 15-20Mbps on each bridge, my CPU utilisation
gets to about 90-95%.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=129215621-31102007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to
avoid working the CPU that hard. Is there anything which can be done to get the
CPU utlilisation down a bit? I have plans for an even bigger bridge, but these
results indicate that it may not scale quite that well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
