You can use the handoff to make sure all packets belonging to specific flow or session end up on the same thread. You can use bihash to store both thread_index and per-thread flow/session index in hash result. Bihash have per-bucket locks so it is safe to use single hash table from different workers. After lookup you can simply compare lookup result thread_index with current thread index. if they are different you simply handoff packet to other thread, if they are the same you continue processing packets on the same thread. After that you can build all your data structures as per-thread and avoid locking or atomics. — Damjan
