I think I need to relearn the statistial math to understand the above "99% confidence interval half width ":) But the problem do not seems related too much with "99% confidence interval half width ", but with "mean deviation"? I tried using netperf, which seems only show throughput of 9415.06 (10^6bits/sec) using 10G netdev. which tool did you used to show the above number? > > I'll try to find out what happens in these outstanding iterations. As my understanding, if there is only one thread, the first spin_trylock() is likely to return true for the xmiting thread, unless the scheduled net_tx_action() cause the xmiting thread's spin_trylock() returning false?
