Reformatted your output

It looks like most interrupts go to eth2-0, a few go to eth2-6.  The rx
ring for eth2-0 is for non-IP packets.  The RSS hash will hash IP
packets and place them on eth2-1 to eth2-7.  eth2-0 also handles tx
interrupts for TX ring 0.  TX traffic is hashed by the stack.

What kind of traffic is passing through eth2?

Thanks.
