That is an interesting observation Alexei, and could explain the pps limit
I hit on 40G, with single flow testing. AFAIK 40G is 4x 10G PHYs, and
100G is 4x 25G PHYs.
I have a pktgen script that tried to avoid this pitfall. By creating a
new flow per pktgen kthread. I call it "pktgen_sample05_flow_per_thread.sh"[1]
