Wow, it totally survives 2 streams (2 in one direction or 2 in 
opposite directions)... AND it almost can survive a 3rd! It does seem 
to be dropping packets on em1 when I add in a second stream blasting 
in the same direction, but its survives.  You can see at ** I add in 
the second stream, and the outbound on em1 drops, even though more 
packets are going through.  I stop the second stream then add a 
stream going in the other direction.  Oddly enough, with a UP kernel 
it cant do 2 streams, just the one.  I thought the extra locking on 
SMP would make it worse ?  In this case it seems no.
