Sounds like you need boxes with more cpu.
What's the output when you type: cat /proc/cpuinfo into a shell prompt?
What kind of traffic goes over the link?
Lots of low bandwidth connections? A few high bandwidth connections? Lots of high bandwidth connections? Some combination of the above?
Just testing a bunch of boxes with a variety of specs may give you a better answer the pondering the mysteries of the specifications. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Thanks. I actually hoped that other people may have already performed the necessary testing - and that, based on the responses to my email, seems to some extent to have been the case. Here's /proc/cpuinfo on the OpenVPN server:
