Hi,

Does the netfilter_queue support the multi-thread processing? In other words, I use one thread to receive packets from the netfilter_queue (Use recv() function). In the meanwhile, I dispatch them to other threads (Another 6 threads) to process by using Round-Robin method (Use nfq_set_verdict() function when the processing is finished). If so, does it cause any stability issues to the system (e.g. Cause kernel panic)?

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Jacky Luk
