So it must be some queue overflow in the macvtap or > your ixgbe device. I cranked up the qlen on macvtap1 (100,000) and that fixed the drops but the resulting latency is horrible, increasing with test length, as is the jitter. Given the low RX thread CPU it would appear that there is eomething wrong between macvtap and my code. I will have to chew on this a bit. Joe Buehler
