Amit - I've gotten upwards of 250 Mbps using libipq and the QUEUE target with gig interfaces. We tweeked both ip_queue_maxlen and rmem_default and nice'ed the userland process that was reading from the netlink to get those values. Good luck!

You are either not grasping how difficult what your trying to do, or you haven't used proper the wording. Source Routing from windows == blah! If you're relying on windows to do routing, I pity thou. To the best of my knowledge, you have: x.x.x.254 ROUTER |--x.x.x.1 Linux Server 1 (default route x.x.x.254) |--x.x.x.2 Windows IIS (default route x.x.x.254) You have the router forwarding a public IP address and PATing it to x.x.x.1. You want x.x.x.1:8080 to go to x.x.x.2:80 To get this to work, use: # Allow any established traffic to traverse the machine iptables -A FORWARD -m state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # Forward the packet destined for 8080 to the windows machine on port 80 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --destination x.x.x.1 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to x.x.x.2:80 # Allow new web traffic into the network iptables -A FORWARD --destination x.x.x.2 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT # Forces the windows box to route back to you before leaving the network iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --destination x.x.x.2 -p tcp --dport 80 -j SNAT --to x.x.x.1 The order of traversal becomes: Router->Firewall->Windows->Firewall->Router Instead of Router->Firewall->Windows->Router The later breaks as I've described earlier.
