we use linux as our router. i just tested the performance of the router with smartbits, and i found that the throughput of 64byte frame is only 25%, about 35kpps. someone mentioned that the throughput of 64byte frame could reach 70kpps.so i wish i could improve the performance of our router,but i don't know how to do that.

you will probably need to provide a lot more details, such as what the host CPU is, whether you've done any kernel profiling, which kernel you're using, etc.

the CPU is PIII800, 256M ram.
kernel 2.4.19-pre1
i just add some patches of netfilter to the kernel,such as the time patch. btw,i compiled all the netfilter options into the kernel,not as modules. will that affect the performance? thanks.
