   60.0073 seconds passed, avg forwarding rate: 157557.710 pps
   
   ...Looks like a tad worse than with your patch, but not by much. 
   Forwarding rate is still pretty crappy for an Opteron.  Will fiddle
   a bit more tonight to see what I can do.

To be honest, this isn't half-bad for pure DoS load.

This reminds me, maybe a good test would be PPS for "well behaved
flows" in the presence of DoS load.  You'd probably need 4 systems
to carry out such a test accurately.

Because, really, who cares how fast we can forward the DoS traffic
as long as legitimate users still see good metrics.
