Hello,

Could you please report the following info:

1) the test machine cpu topology (i.e. output of 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/{thread_siblings_list,core_siblings_list})
2) kernel config you used during the test
3) the output of /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features (debugfs mounted).
4) netperf server/client options
5) did you place netserver into a separate cpu cgroup?

Thanks.
