More interesting would be the numbers for NAPI+LVS (I
didn't tried it myself yet, no free time). NAPI (already in
2.4.20pre) solves exactly such problems where the higher input
load causes strange/lower results in the output due to big IRQ
rate. IMO, your goal should be to send 25KP/s (SYNs) and to receive 25K
packets/sec. This is achievable with LVS on PCI 33MHz without NAPI.
As for the differences when extra patches are used,
may be it only proves that these patches add extra overhead for
the LVS forwarding path, they simply have another purpose.
