Hi Gautam
I guess you are using standard drivers, with defragmentation enabled in the 
pf_ring kernel module,
in that case if you have many fragments, at that rate, that could slow down the 
processing. Did you
try disabling defragmentation to figure out if the bottleneck is there?

Regards
Alfredo
