Re: [FW1] Fw-1 running on a multi-CPU system

["Tim Holman" <tim_holman@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

FW-1 integrates with the OS by use of a kernel driver, responsible for
interacting with the IP stack.  It is not designed to intergrate with parts
of the kernel responsible for processing, or indeed, multi-processing.
This means that it will make full use of what the OS gives it.
If the OS can handle multi-processors, then FW-1 will sit on top and
function without problems.
This link's getting a bit of a cliche now, but it shows tests carried out on
multi-processor system.
