Currently, udp_hash[UDP_HTABLE_SIZE] is using a hash function based on dport number only. In your case, as you use a single port value, all sockets are in a single slot of this hash table : To find the good socket, __udp4_lib_lookup() has to search in a list with thousands of elements. Not that good, isnt it ? :(
In case you want to try, here is a patch that could help you :) [PATCH] INET : IPV4 UDP lookups converted to a 2 pass algo Some people want to have many UDP sockets, binded to a single port but many different addresses. We currently hash all those sockets into a single chain. Processing of incoming packets is very expensive, because the whole chain must be examined to find the best match. I chose in this patch to hash UDP sockets with a hash function that take into account both their port number and address : This has a drawback because we need two lookups : one with a given address, one with a wildcard (null) address.
