The Linux 2.6.35 version, just released earlier this month, contains RPS and RFS, two new technologies that Google has contributed to.

RPS's full name is the receive Packet steering, which distributes the incoming packets to all available CPUs, while RFS (recevie flow steering) calculates which core is best suited for which work.

According to the test results of the kernelnewbies.org Web site, a server based on the Intel 8 core cpu,e1000e NIC is 104,000 tps/303,000 TP before and after the RPS and RFS technologies are enabled and the CPU occupancy rate is respectively S and 30%/61%, which means that the two technologies use some of the excess CPU resources in exchange for higher network throughput capabilities.

In addition, the Linux 2.6.35 also includes technologies provided by companies such as SGI.
