Hello, everyone.

Have spent a lot of time trying to balance traffic into multiple RSS queues, 
but traffic falls into same queue all the time. I've read all the documents, 
threads I could find, but still cannot find a way to solve my problem.

My configuration: 3 servers with 82599 adapters. Connected like this:

Packet generator ( PG )<--- 10G ---> Packet router ( PR )<--- 10G ---> Packet 
dumper ( PD )

PG connects to PR via PPPoE and generates packets directed to Packed dumper ( 
PG ).

PR running 3.2.23 kernel and latest ixgbe 3.21.2. PG running 3.12.18 and same 
latest ixgbe 3.21.2, with default settings. I've generated traffic using iperf, 
netperf, ping. For iperf, netperf, both TCP and UDP - all goes to default queue 
- 0, while the rest 15 are idle. As on receiving interface, as on sending for 
PR. In case of using ping - everything is distributed properly. Which is 
another riddle for me.

I've tried using macvlan ( different MACs on PR, PG ), vlans ( different source 
IPs for PPPoE sessions, different destination IP for PD ) - nothing helps. I 
cannot use Flow Director as packets in tunneling are not analyzed by it ( as 
per DS ), this is proved by ethtool counter for fdir* variable.

So what are my options? And how to guarantee, that in production environment I 
will not face the same issue? Or probably I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
