I have a machine running 4.9.  P4 2.8Ghz, 800mhz bus, Intel PRO/1000 
ethernet connected to a Cisco, both sides are locked to 1000/FD.

The kernel has HZ=1000, and DEVICE_POLLING, IPFW, DUMMYNET, etc. After 
only a few minutes of run time under an attack ~90,000 pps. The attack 
has been limited at the router to JUST incoming TCP port 80 inbound 
traffic. I don't know why the machine is having such a hard time under 
the load. The cpu shows it is >90% idle even under the worst of the 
attack.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

DJ
