Hmm...that's not ideal.

If I understand correctly though if FDIR fails it falls back to a RSS-style 
hash to try and spread the load across multiple queues?

Chris



Yeah that is correct.  Since UDP packets wouldn't be routed by FDIR it would 
then be routed by RSS.  And like you noted earlier it would end up being spread 
across only 16 queues.
You could look at setting up perfect filter flows instead and spreading them 
across all 32 queues as you like.
