Ethtool -S "My intel x520 10G nic" will show there are 8 rx/tx queues

I just made 5M pps with 64 bytes packet according to link given by eric Dumazet.
(connect the 2 ports with each other of the NIC, XEON E5540,kernel 2.6.32,set irq affinity, Noted that I have an abnormal ksoftirqd/2 which occupy 30%cpu even at idle state, so the result still has space to improve)

At another old kernel(2.6.16) with tg3 and bnx2 1G NIC,XEON E5450, I only got 490K pps(it is about 300Mbps,30% GE), I think the reason is multiqueue unsupported in this kernel.

I will do a test with 1Gb nic on the new kernel later.
