Intel's ITR give you high latency, NAPI is far superior than any hardware based interrupt mitigation scheme whatsoever. You have some system specific problem with NAPI and we need to analyze that. I've mucked with TONNnss of settings.. I've even had the route-cache up to over 600,000 entries and the CPU still has room left for more.. It can't possibly be the size of the cache, You are letting your hash chains reach the size of "max_size" divided by the number of hash chains. This means that every packet into your machine has to walk that many hash chains. You can keep doing some shamans dance saying that the size you have choosen doesn't matter, but the people who have written this code and work with it every day know that it does. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
