Hello, everyone.

I have two 82599 nics connected to different numa nodes. Each nic can
recieve up to 12Mpps 64-byte packets.

But when I send traffic to both nics only 5Mpps+5Mpps can be recieved.

May someboby help if it's driver, kernel or hardware bottleneck?

Configuration:

2 x E5-2667 ***@3.30GHz
3.14.19 kernel, 3.22.3 ixgbe
8 queues at each nic with affinity set

NIC1
--pkt/eth2- --pkt/eth5-
#recv #send:#recv #send
0 0 :12.6M 0
0 0 :12.7M 0
0 0 :12.7M 0
0 0 :12.7M 0
0 0 :12.7M 0

NIC2
--pkt/eth2- --pkt/eth5-
#recv #send:#recv #send
12.7M 0 : 0 0
12.7M 0 : 0 0
12.6M 0 : 0 0
12.7M 0 : 0 0
12.6M 0 : 0 0

both
--pkt/eth2- --pkt/eth5-
#recv #send:#recv #send
