-  Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
-  environments.  If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
-  size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.

+Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
+------------------------------------------------------
+Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
+one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
+(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.  All Ethernet interfaces
+will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
+This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
 
+If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
 
-  Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
-  ---------------------------------------------
-  Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
-  the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
-  adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
-  by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
-  increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
+  - Turn on ARP filtering by entering::

   - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
     different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
 
+UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
+--------------------------------------
+Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
+may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
+to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
+controlling packet reception.

-  Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
-  ------------------------------
-  Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
-  "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.
