In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of connections, or select targets only for a given cpu. With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session. (all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu) Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a server is to run multiple copies of them. Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks. Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of server application, using a separate listening port for each instance, but still presenting an unique external port : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \ -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
