 Network cards can split the traffic at the hardware level (via a feature called RSS), the traffic can be distributed to independent different processes.
 For example, [Snabb](https://github.com/snabbco/snabb) works like this and many DPDK applications use multiple threads that do not communicate.

 This yields somewhat interesting results depending on queue sizes and NUMA configuration, see the [ixy paper](https://www.net.in.tum.de/fileadmin/bibtex/publications/papers/ixy_paper_draft2.pdf) for an evaluation.
 
 Latency spikes induced by languages feature a garbage collector and/or a JIT compiler might not be caught by the test setup above.
-We are working on an additional latency measurement setup based on fiber taps with our [MoonSniff framework](https://github.com/AP-Frank/MoonGen/tree/moonsniff). This allows us to timestamp every single packet and detect JIT warmup phases and individual gc cycles.
