> Fitting an 800Gbps appliance into 2-4U means you can fit into a lot more ISPs. The work and investment to turn that 4U deployment into two 2U deployments sounds like a far more realistic and effective way to go about the problem. > Additionally, I don't know why you would choose not to use the capacity of the system you have, just because you can easily scale horizontally. The point is that the capacity does not exist, hence these patches being shot down by kernel maintainers for being fundamentally broken. Also, what are the real-world performance improvements of these memory hacks? Adding another COTS box next to the one already deployed should double capacity straight away.
