Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] two different threads polls the same port, different queues, why the throughput is the same

I do not have any lock/critical sections in my code.
I have logs to print out the core id, src port, dst port and queue id. worker 0 runs on core 1, run macswap very light, the throughput is 4.5Mpps. worker 1 runs on core2, is a load balancer heavy, the throughput is also 4.5Mpps. This does not make sense at all.
***thread core_id=1, src_port=0, dst_port=0, rx_queue_id=0, tx_queue_id=0
***thread core_id=2, src_port=0, dst_port=0, rx_queue_id=1, tx_queue_id=1
Core 0: Running stat thread
worker_id=0, core_id=1, pkt_rate=4418972
worker_id=1, core_id=2, pkt_rate=4419808
worker_id=0, core_id=1, pkt_rate=4631684
worker_id=1, core_id=2, pkt_rate=4632928

If I just run each of them, their throughput is huge different with small packet. Thread A polls queue 0 of port 0, thread B polls queue 1 of port 0. If I run them at the same time, why thread A and thread B get same throughput. This makes me very confused. Does anyone have the same experience or know some possible reasons?
