Specifying virtual-processor classes for poll threads
Each poll thread that is configured or added dynamically by a NETTYPE entry runs in a separate VP. A poll thread can run in one of two types of VP classes: NET (network) and CPU. Network VP classes include SOC, STR, SHM, and TLI. For best performance, use a NETTYPE entry to assign only one poll thread to the CPU VP class. Assign all additional poll threads to network VP classes by specifying NET in the NETTYPE configuration parameter values.
