Hi Guys, Thanks for your time in responding. As you people stated, the problem here doesn't seem to be single threaded vs multi threaded. I am experience similar behavior with "iperf". It's mostly to do with iflib and my driver(mostly my driver). It looks like the receiver is slow in reading the packets than the sender sending the packets. In this case, iflib drives the packet read through the exposed interfaces (rxd_available, rxd_pkt_get etc.,). So, how to make the receiver side read the packet faster with iflib? Is there anything that I should take care in my driver in this regard? Thanks, Rajesh.
