CPU needed for L7 filtering
-
I enable L7 filtering to limit httpvideo (youtube, etc) to 3mb of pipe. I applied L7 container to rules on my LAN interface. I started to notice delays in loading webpages (even non-httpvideo pages). I checked top and ipclassify is using 100% of CPU.
My box has a P4 3.0ghz CPU and 15mb pipe. Do I just need a beefier CPU to use L7 or do I have something misconfigured?
Thanks,
Aaron
