Nothing at all (but the usual noise I guess)

200 TCP_RR send packets with 1 byte of payload and Push flag,
so no packet ever sits in napi->gro_list

lpaa5:~# echo 0 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa6:~# echo 0 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa5:~# time ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa6 -t TCP_RR -l 20
3.13827e+06

real	0m32.170s
user	0m32.885s
sys	7m38.868s

lpaa5:~# echo 2000 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa6:~# echo 2000 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa5:~# time ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa6 -t TCP_RR -l 20
3.19013e+06

real	0m37.152s
user	0m33.477s
sys	7m30.586s

Now lets try TCP_RR with -- -r 4000,4000 ;)

Reducing ACK packets allow us to better use the 10Gbe bandwith for
payload, so QPS actually increase.

lpaa5:~# echo 0 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa6:~# echo 0 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa5:~# time ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa6 -t TCP_RR -l 20 -- -r
4000,4000
379645

real	0m32.201s
user	0m4.390s
sys	0m59.501s

lpaa5:~# echo 2000 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa6:~# echo 2000 >/sys/class/net/eth0/gro_flush_timeout
lpaa5:~# time ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa6 -t TCP_RR -l 20 -- -r
4000,4000
