Yes, it has out of order behavior; with my patch much less. I upload two pcap files and you can see by yourself, if you don't believe in what I'm talking about. Test done using: "iperf -s" and "iperf -c <ip> -i 1 -t 10". 1) Don't change the number of packets(default round robin behavior). http://people.freebsd.org/~araujo/lagg/lagg-nop.cap 8 out of order packets. Several SACKs. 2) Set the number of packets to 50. http://people.freebsd.org/~araujo/lagg/lagg.cap 0 out of order packets. Less SACKs. > You may not think > it's a problem for TCP, but UDP things and VPN things will start > getting very angry.

About the VPN, please, tell me which softwares, and let me know where I can get a sample to make a testbed. However to be very honest, I don't believe anyone here when change something at network protocols will make this extensive testbed. It is almost impossible to predict what software it will works or not, and I don't believe anyone here has all these stuff in hands. > > The ixgbe driver is setting the flowid to the msix queue ID, rather > than a 32 bit unique flow id hash value for the flow.

With my patch and set the packets to 50, it improved a bit too. So, thank you so much for all review, I don't know if you have time and a testbed to make a real test, as I'm doing. I would be happy if you or more people could make tests on that patch. Also, I have only ixgbe(4) to make tests, would appreciate if this patch could be tested with other NICs too.
