iptables "NFQUEUE --queue-balance" option fails to distribute traffic over multiple queues in RHEL-6.5 and later.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • "NFQUEUE --queue-balance" was configured with iptables to pass traffic over multiple NFQUEUE's. However in RHEL-6.5 and later, the traffic is flowing via single queue only whereas in RHEL-6.4 and earlier, the traffic is flowing via multiple NFQUEUE's.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
  • kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6
  • iptables (NFQUEUE --queue-balance)
