Hey,
I have some links that you could be interested on them: http://www.geocities.com/asimshankar/notes/linux-networking-code.txt http://oss.sgi.com/archives/netdev/2004-06/msg00162.html http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/results/res2003q3/web99-20030818-00245.html http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009209.htm All of them talks about the interrupts. So, what do you think should i do with my e1000? What do you think could be the best board for sites as 8.000 customers? My problem is exact these lots of interruptions. Thank you in advance!

This is usually what takes more CPU usage..
