Well... yes. This is a real server, not a DOS simulation.
1 million TCP flows, and about 3 million peers using UDP frames.

No. As soon as I lower gc_thresh (and let gc running), the machine starts to drop connections and crash some seconds later.
I found I had to make the hash table very large (but lowering elasticity, ie chain length) .
It needs lot of ram, but at least CPU usage of net/ipv4/route.c is close to 0.
