It seems John uses a single 1Gbps flow, so only one cpu would receive NIC interrupts. The only way he could get better results would be to schedule IFB work on another core. (Assuming one cpu is 100% busy servicing NIC + IFB, but I really doubt it...) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
