Hi The RSS hardware balancer splits the traffic across queues. I believe you have traffic not easily balanceable. Note that with 82599 you can steer selected traffic to selected queues, by specifying filtering rules. This to help balancing. Kernel 3.x series are kindly suggested if ou want to use these features, that are otherwise available also on late 2.6 kernel series,
