A few suggestions: - run a recent kernel (I would run latest stable 3.10, but YMMV) - use a recent haproxy build (post fa8e2bc68 or July 23th snaphost+) - use splicing As for the NIC, I can't give any recommendations myself, but I would suggest to read this blog post from cloudflare: http://blog.cloudflare.com/a-tour-inside-cloudflares-latest-generation-servers Cloudflare runs huge anycast reverse proxies all over the world with nginx. The seem to adopt Solarflare SFC9020 NICs in their latest platform, and I suspect they did a *lot* of testing. Regards, Lukas
