Verze 5.0beta3
Napsal: 17 Jun 2010 16:31
What's new in 5.0beta3 (2010-Jun-17 13:46):
*) hotspot - drop hotspot specific tcp connections from non-hotspot clients
already at firewall;
*) lcd - added support for AX89063
*) console - output of '/ping' and '/tool traceroute' commands is more
in line with the rest of the console commands;
*) api - '/ping' and '/tool traceroute' commands are fully functional;
*) console - added 'server' and 'server-port' arguments to '/resolve' command;
*) lcd - show free/total memory in units of million bytes (MB);
*) lcd - added page that shows system identity;
*) sstp - made it work with Windows 7;
*) sstp server - client reconnects did not work;
*) winbox - implemented proper maximize support for inner windows;
*) fix 5&10MHz channel support for 11n cards;
*) added IRQ balancer;
*) enabled PCI MSI on i386 multicore setups;
Important note!
Latest beta release 5.0beta3 have initial support for two features,
1) IRQ balancing - allow IRQ assignation of to a specific CPU
2) PCI MSI support - allows to avoid most situation when several physical interfaces are with same IRQ
Bottom line - with these 2 features you will be able to assign specific physical interface to specific CPU core.
IRQ balancer can be found in "/system resources irq" menu.
Known issues:
In current implementation balancing is based on number of interrupts ("Count" column in that menu). On large number of interrupts (interrupts=packets if IRQ have only one interface on it) Linux Kernel will start using NAPI feature (instead of interrupts). As a result "Auto" mode in high interrupt situations will result in usage of only 1 core.
Good news is - it is possible to assign cores manually, bad news - after reboot or power-cycle configuration will work only with 1 core. To fix it you need to set all back to "Auto" and reboot again. After the reboot you can again assign cores manually.
We will be glad to receive any feedback from you.
