(on 9.0 we can see also kernel thread named {ix0 que} using 100% CPU),

If there really are 16 hardware queues, shouldn't there be 16 kernel
threads for queue processing?

There are 16 threads, but only one of them consumes 100% CPU and the others
do not use more than 5% CPU:

You need Jack to confirm it but this looks like a serious problem / bottleneck. It just shouldn't be like that (if the test is exactly the same).


Is this by any chance non-IP traffic (or encapsulated in some way).
I remember similar thread :

http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/igb-ixgbe-RSS-RX-queues-for-non-IP-traffic-td4778961.html

Most of the traffic received by the interface is a TCP/UDP, but there is also a PPPoE (~2.5Gbps/s).
The whole is divided into a large number of VLANs (>500)
