hello,

I am sorry, are you saying intel and chelsio distribute RX packet load differently? If I am not mistaken intel will distributed traffic among queues based on ip addresses flow/hashes/whatever, does chelsio make it per packet or somethig other?

how does this behavior you noticed could affect single queue (or applications on netmap:if0 and not netmap:if0-n) on chelsio?

thanks
