If you specify an RSS queue that does not exists you should not get any packet. In order to use kernel distribution with standard pf_ring you should use kernel clustering (see pfcount -c), in that case you just specify the interface name, attach to the cluster, and get 1/N of the traffic (where N is the number of application with the same cluster id) Alfredo > > Regards, > Jan
