If permissible in your environment, try running PACKET:tpacket_v3.

Also, I always wondered about the following in the output of:

net/ptype
dada          edsa_rcv+0x0/0x246
001b          dsa_rcv+0x0/0x225

and so when I'm fine tuning apps in virtual environments I nuke the
above during kernel compilation.
