Thanks for the response. I observed that there is a significant performance drop in case of IPv6 on the "rx" side. While I'm able to hit line rate ~9.5 Gbps on a 10gb NIC for IPv4..I could only get ~6 Gbps on the "rx" front for IPv6...However "tx" for IPv6 is on par with IPv4 hitting almost line rates.
Could this be because of lack of LRO6?? Note: hwpmc profiling shows that most of the time is spent in the IPv6 stack code /Venkat On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 10:37 PM, Bjoern A.
