Thanks a lot.
In the XL710 case, have you tried with lower values of the timer, such as 50us
down to 5 us?
Is there any visible change?

Also, have you looked at pkt-gen CPU utilization? That's something that tells
you if you are CPU limited (unlikely) or rather still limited by the
"pseudo-interrupt rate" being too low.
For, instance, how does pkt-gen CPU utilization look in the case of XL710 and 1
queue (for simplicity, so that you have just a single thread)?
