[Ntop-misc] High End QoS

  OK, now I see HP, Sun and IBM provide opterons. One question, its
better to use single or dual core? I mean, will a firewall / qos /
netflow system really use the dual core? (of course, Im talking about
2.6 kernel)

  We have found a couple of providers by now :)

  Thanks.
