Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD stable/12 as firewall.
I think RSS is not working properly.
Multiple snort processes are running that one process for each NIC queue.
I've igb and ixgbe NICs.
When number of NIC queues is 8, snort appid detection not working properly.
When number of NIC queues is set to 1, snort appid detection is working
properly.
And then, I wrote a small software using netmap - lb example. This small
software, requeues the packages according to 2-tuple. After using this
software, snort's appid detection started to work properly even with 8
queues.
This test repeated for both igb and ixgbe NICS. Result is same.

I couldn't find any configuration to enable RSS.
The RSS wiki page (https://wiki.freebsd.org/NetworkRSS) is outdated.

Any suggestions to enable RSS ?

Thanks, regards
