OK, thanks. done.
I've one RHEL6 system (using default 2.6.32 kernel) where only using
"ntuple on" results in just 4-5Gbit/s while the others using 3.5.0-rc2
are working fine.

Thanks that works great and boosts the performance a lot. What does it
do? man ethtool doesn't show anything useful.
Is this also recommanded for 1Gb/s?
Could you recommend a tcp_congestion_control module? RHEL6 uses cubic by
default. Some others use reno or bic.
