That said, forcing the cpus list should not have *broken* traffic.
I know that this would force fanout to go to a single CPU, so I set up some things here so that I'm getting multicast at least from 2-3 different sources and each originating in a different UDP source port. I also plan to propose a patch to illumos which would make multicast fanout src+dst based - for multicast that really makes sense, since lots of DVB transmission equipment originates all IP multicast traffic on the same IP+src port combination and sends it to different multicast destination addresses.
