I am preparing profiling now. I dont think it is CPU load issue. I have motherboard DP35DP working on similar workload(less routes, but conntrack + ifb + htb without hysteresis) perfectly, but it doesn't have Intel AMT, maybe that's the key. Why CPU load not the issue? I don't think mpstat is lying. 98-99% CPU is idle. But i will try oprofile, maybe it can help and will show something. I will try also PREEMPT kernel now, maybe it is some locking issue, and preemption can help with that. Because "bursty" and clearly periodic character of errors means or counters updated each 1-2 seconds or it is something happening each 1-2 seconds. I am not sure oprofile can catch that.
