Subject: Re: A Linux TCP SACK Question

Can you run the attached script and run your testing again?
I think it might be the problem of your dual cores balance the
interrupts on your testing NIC.
As we do a lot of things with SACK, cache misses and etc. might affect
your performance.

In default setting, I disabled tcp segment offload and did a smp
affinity setting to CPU 0.
Please change "INF" to your interface name and let us know the results.
