I saw this in my configuration too :) Just leave your test running for longer time and you will see this strange inconsistency in action. In my configuration I almost always have better throughput after reboot, which drops latter (5-10min under flood) with 50-60kpps and after another 10-15min the number of correctly passed packet increase again. Looks like "auto tuning" of which I'm not aware :) > How could that be?
