I think we need to narrow this down a bit more. Let's try forcing the
lookup table all to one value and see if traffic is still going to
queue 0.
Specifically what we need to is run the following command to try and
force all RSS traffic to queue 8, you can verify the result with
"ethtool -x":
ethtool -X <iface> weight 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
If that works and the IPSec traffic goes to queue 8 then we are likely
looking at some sort of input issue, either in the parsing or the
population of things like the input mask that we can then debug
further.
If traffic still goes to queue 0 then that tells us the output of the
RSS hash and lookup table are being ignored, this would imply either
some other filter is rerouting the traffic or is directing us to limit
the queue index to 0 bits.
Thanks.
