Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try. I have a problem when I flood a system with SCTP INITs. The system under attack becomes completely unresponsive on the console. However, it continues to send INIT-ACKs back. After the last commit from Jack it recovers after the attack. Not yet sure what is going on. Using the em driver does not have the problem. However, when using the em driver only one core is fully used, when using the igb driver both cores are fully used. Unfortunately I do not have a more than dual core machine available for this testing...
