I have this statement for eth0 anyhow I do see traffic moving between
the 2 interfaces. All routes are static and there is not dynamic routing
enabled in this setup.
eth0 and eth1 are on 2 different subnets. Initially the traffic will be
routed over eth0 as expected, anyhow from time to time (appears to be
random/uncorrelated) packets are routed over eth1 instead.
Hence I was wondering if I was missing a parameter when launching the
streams that I may have overlooked.
