(btw., could you please bump the default for max_interrupt_work up from 6 to at least 30? Bursts of 30 packets isnt hard to trigger, it happens commonly on my box - and 6 are trivial to trigger and the messages look quite alarming to the untrained eye and the condition also hurts performance. Thanks!) Ingo
