If you are running point to point with UDP traffic and are not fragmenting packets I would recommend enabling RSS for UDP flows. You can do that via the following command: ethtool -N <interface> rx-flow-hash udp4 sdfn That should allow the work to spread to more queues than just the one that is currently being selected based on your source and destination IP addresses. - Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
