Abstract

This paper presents a performance analysis of a fair sharing mechanism for PC-based software routers, required when the I/O bus and not the CPU is the bottleneck. The mechanism involves changes to the OS kernel and assumes the existence of certain NIC functions, but does not require any changes to the PC hardware architecture.
