a.) Could anyody please help me with a solution so that iam able to balance equally the interrupts on both cores? b.) Is there anyway to actually assign more interrupts to this IRQ (25) or is that something that the kernel discretly takes care of?
afaik, IRQs from a single device have to be handled serially, you can't have more than one active IRQ at the same time.
so there's really no point in distributing them across multiple CPU cores. let the other cores handle user space and other sorts of IOs.
SYN flooding is a pathological condition thats not going to happen under regular workloads, how does your system handle actual network traffic when it approaches network saturation ?
