Alright, sorry for the delay. I now have bandwidth/setup to test this.

How does this work? You identify user-defined flows and apply ATR on
the rest of the flows?

I believe, I can somehow test whether the signature filter works or
not by generating custom traffic, creating matching filter, directing
the traffic to a specific queue and watch that queue.

But how do I test/see ATR (application targeted receive) in action?
Traffic for a specific application should follow the application on
different cpus, right? Any guidance on how to do that would be great.

cheers,
Hiren
