eth1

Not sure you need to tweak max_before_softirq (I never did)

Yes, but you must also use queue_map_min and queue_map_max pktgen
parameters so that each cpu manipulates its own 'queue'

CPU 0 : 

   pgset "queue_map_min 0"
   pgset "queue_map_max 0"

...

CPU 3 : 

   pgset "queue_map_min 3"
   pgset "queue_map_max 3"
