Actually I have one load generator and one server connected to each
other via a 10Gb link.

The server is a 40 core 4 socket Westmere-EX machine and the load
generator is a 12 core 2 socket Westmere-EP machine.

There are 40 memcached daemons on the server each bound to a cpu core
and listening on a distinctive UDP port.  The load generator has 40
threads, with each thread sending memcache request to a particular UDP
port.


The load generator's memcache request packet has a UDP payload of 25
bytes.  The response packet from the daemon has a UDP payload of 13
bytes.

The UPD packets on the load generator and server are distributed across
16 Tx-Rx queues by hashing on the UDP ports (with slight modification of
the hash flags of ixgbe).

Thanks.
