Then I misunderstood you, my proposal is only for TX. GSO will not help as it is for large packets to get segmented at the latest point in time to avoid going through the stack multiple times. My proposal is to link multiple packets to send to the device in one shot rather than calling qdisc_restart multiple times. > > But for sends, why does same or different connection matter ?

Sorry to mis-write what I meant : in my proposal there is no aggregating of skbs so single/multiple connections should not matter.
