Re: selective connection tracking

connection tracking is needed for NAT and connection-state checking in the firewall. If you don't need these features, it should be safe to disable connection tracking. But it will only help if CPU is already quite loaded.

Fasttracking that traffic you want to be excluded from queues is much more efficient.
But keep the exclusion queue for the cases when some connections couldn't be fasttracked.

Re: Feature requests

Currently ROS sets irq smp_affinity to a single core, thus the interrupts of a single ethernet card with one irq do not get distributed over the cores. It would be nice if the command "system resource irq set ... cpu=0,1,2,3" worked and set the affinity mask to multiple cores. It is report...

It is enabled by default when the IPv6 package is turned on. You'll see an entry in there for "interface=all". Correct. So how do I disable it for selected interfaces? What do you mean by RPS? Receive Packet Steering (system resource irq rps) Is it really enabled in the kernel of ROS 5.1?

Let me answer myself. It appears the cause for slowness of "jump" was change-tcp-mss=yes in ppp profile.
It creates many hidden entries in firewall mangle table and jump apparently uses linear search to find the named chain.
