And another important question: how much improvement can be gained from the driver ? Folks that do parallel computation over TCP over Ethernet
You can play some tricks with the driver to make eth_type_trans disappear from the profiles. This usually helps a lot because it avoids one full "fetch from cache cold memory" roundtrip per packet, which is slow on any CPU. -Andi
