There is no TX interrupts with dropping packet.
GSO/TSO is the key for small message performance, w/o GSO/TSO, the
performance is limited to about 2Gb/s no matter how big the message size
it is. I think any work we try here will increase large packet size
rate. BTW for dropping packet, TCP increased fast retrans, not slow
start.
I will collect tcpdump, netstart before and after data to compare packet
size/rate w/o w/i the patch.
Thanks
Shirley
