    Sorry for poor description..

   A multithread program will use different cpu in different thread. For
example, we use one
cpu for receving packets to receive queue and the other CPU for sending
packets from sending
queue. Hence we can have more CPU power in iSCSI path. An UDP program with
its sending
and receiving can archive this situation. I think this will give a
significant performance than TCP if
TCP can't use both CPUs proccesing power.

   TCP process its own queue in kernel mode. And will this TCP queue is
processed with 2 CPU?
