Hi Frank, as I understand it when the platform supports HT the system splits data related tasks and control related tasks among the hyper threads inside the core, so if your platform has a quad core as mine, you'll have 4 hyper threads running data plane tasks and 4 hyper threads running control plane tasks. If the TMM process reach the utilization thread of 80% the control plane tasks are constrained to a maximum utilization of 20%. So, in summary, the hyper threads for data plane tasks are higher priority and in case of high use, they are guaranteed an 80% of the processing resources of the core.
