Also, you may be interested in using rxperf instead of a real client and
server when poking around at stuff. Using rxperf should effectively
isolate the issues you see to the Rx stack (as opposed to, say, the
client or server applications stalling for some reason), and it's easier
to poke around at and debug, etc, than a kernel module.
