Thanks for a reply, Bruce.
One question though. According to DDIO documentation it only affects the 
CPUs "local" relatively to the NIC. DCA, on the other hand may be 
configured to work with any CPU. Modern platforms usually have a few 
NUMA nodes and requirement of binding network handling threads only to 
CPUs "local" to the NIC is very limiting.

Could u, pls., comment on this?

thanks in advance,
vlad
