I did not realize you were ready to submit this new infra ! Please add performance tests and documentation. ( Documentation/networking/scaling.txt should be a nice place ) Unconnected UDP packets are candidates to this selection, even locally generated, while maybe the applications are pinning their thread(s) to cpu(s) TX completion will then happen on multiple cpus. Not sure about af_packet and/or pktgen ? - The new hash table is vmalloc()ed on a single NUMA node. (in comparison RFS table (per rx queue) can be properly accessed by a single cpu servicing queue interrupts) - Each packet will likely get an additional cache miss in a DDOS forwarding workload. Thanks.
