The chipset and configuration of the SH has been discussed here previously.

The cable modem components are integrated in the main CPU. The LAN ports are handled by a dedicated switch chip.

Ping replies are dealt with by the OS kerne

Thanks for the info. Still not sure of its an atheros/broadcom/rtl type chipset though.

I did wonder if the actual IP stack was handled on a separate chip in the same way as the LAN ports being handled with a different chip. Specialised dedicated chips taking work from the cpu is common in other areas but I wasn't sure in router technology.

So the common factors with the ramping are the cpu and kernel/firmware.

Wouldn't let them give me a superhub, so never had one, never want one and will never get to try it

When trying to fix their obvious utilisation problem, they stalled with a repull and palming me off with a vmdg280. Obviously none of that fixed their overutilisation problem but means I had beern downgraded from a modem to the 280. Didn't want to downgrade it any futher lol.
