Re: V2.4 policy router operates faster/better than V2.6

We have to understand the GC details to 100% confident. Some time to digest 
and a may reboot help.

I also mentioned routing without the route hash. No spinning in route
hash and no GC but we trade this for doing a fib lookup for every packet.
Jamal and I started to play with this at last OLS but it's only tested
in lab sofar.

For environments with small number of flows it's probably not a good idea
Length of flows is of course also important. No idea about the result in 
your case.

I have a patch:

ftp:/robur.slu.se:/pub/Linux/net-development/preroute/preroute10.pat

If you feel very brave you can test this. The files to monitor is 
/proc/net/softnet_stat this verify the new packet path.

With rtstat (tot) should show all routed packets. The rate in pps
we are able to achieve.
