The role of RSC is to reassemble input TCP segments, so it is possible that the number of TCP packets sent to the DPDK is lower but some packets may contain more data. Can you confirm that? In my opinion, this mechanism should be disabled by default because it could break PMTU discovery on a router. However it could be useful for somebody doing TCP termination only. Regards, Olivier
