[Oisf-devel] PF_RING RSS Rehash

[Chris Wakelin]

Looking to get the most out of our brand new Intel X520 10G cards, I
came across:

http://www.ntop.org/pf_ring/going-beyond-rss-receive-side-scaling/

I'm not sure what effect turning this on in Suricata will have, but I
had a go at a patch to add it as an option (attached).

I can't test it properly at the moment as our 10G port mirrors are
offline due to an issue (apparently a "known problem") with the border
switches :(

Comments welcome!

Best Wishes,
Chris
