OP has Solarflare NICs. So surely > 1MM pps is possible on that HW? But as you opened with 1 million per second on the Linux stack, I gather that kernel by-pass and such were by definition out of scope. The goal here was to always pass through the kernel. But if so, why use Solarflare? Why not see if one can do + 1MM pps on a nice, even beefy but not Solarflare/Mellonx NICs whose motivation includes kernel by-pass.
