Hi Robert,
Tried few combinations of disabling the netfilter calls and noticed that it
does seem to make a small difference of around 100Mbps, increasing the
thruput to around 2.8-2.9Gbps, but its still far off from the optimum range
for 10Gig interfaces.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
