Hi Luca,

I got another question regarding to pfsend. Why is it taking over %95 CPU on a 
single core even if at very low rate traffic tests? For example when I run the 
command:

sudo PF_RING/userland/examples/pfsend -i dna0@0 -r 0.01

PID USER   PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+   P COMMAND  

7149 root      20   0 39436 1228 1008 R 99.8  0.0   0:04.72 19 pfsend


TX rate: [current 14'495.94 pps/0.01 Gbps][average 14'495.94 pps/0.01 
Gbps][total 14'496.00 pkts]
TX rate: [current 14'517.72 pps/0.01 Gbps][average 14'506.83 pps/0.01 
Gbps][total 29'014.00 pkts]

Below also uses %99 CPU:
sudo PF_RING/userland/examples/pfsend -i dna0@0 -r 5

TX rate: [current 7'318'726.26 pps/4.92 Gbps][average 7'312'930.37 pps/4.91 
Gbps][total 14'626'007.00 pkts]

Serkant,
only one app at time can use a dna device. In your case you need
      to insmod the dna driver with 2 queues and then have one pfsend
      that send on dna0@0 and the other on dna0@1

Regards Luca
