Evgeniy, i thought this kind of stuff excites you, no? ;-> (wink, wink). Only the sender needs the patch but the receiver must be a more powerful machine (so that it is not the bottleneck). A very interesting test will be say 10K flows serving different packet sizes to simulate a busy server. I realized i cant really run the sort of tests KK is running because i dont have the second machine. With pktgen i have an easy way out because i can drop all the packets on the receiver and just count them (whereas netperf requires end 2 end semantics). cheers, jamal
