I have observed TX throughput degradation (and increased CPU 
utilization)  occurs with increased # of connections, when CPU count > 4 
CPUs.  I don't think it is related to the driver (or HW). A while ago I 
prototyped a driver which drops all UDP TX packets and the throughput 
degradation (and CPU utilization increase) behavior occurred though the 
driver was not doing much work.   LSO/TSO seems to help with the 
situation though. With LSO disabled, I have observed the issue on 
several 10G nics.
