The deployment is a follows:
  - Cluster has with two nodes, each with 2 workers and the workers are
pinned to specific cpu cores.
  - dell r620 and centos7 with PF_RING

[root at centos soft]# uname -a

[root at centos~]# cat /proc/net/pf_ring/info

broctl capture
[BroControl] > netstats
 worker-1-1: 1460663117.341926 recvd=5317 dropped=0 link=5317
 worker-1-2: 1460663117.542621 recvd=524 dropped=0 link=524
 worker-2-1: 1460663117.751165 recvd=17 dropped=0 link=17
 worker-2-2: 1460663117.945068 recvd=14417 dropped=0 link=14417

You can see almost all of the traffic capture by the woker-2-2.
And I downloaded 100 files, and only 25 files that could be extracted.

​I found an very interesting phenomenon。
If I start 1 workers, all of the files can be extracted.
If I start 2 workers, 50% of the files can be extracted.
If I start 4 workers, 25% of the files can be extracted.
.......
I don't know why .
Could any one give me some advice.Thanks very much.
