If 'hwloc-ls' tells me my ixgbe device is on node 1:

NUMANode L#0 (P#0 62GB)
[...]
PCIBridge
PCI 14e4:1657
Net L#2 "eno1"
PCI 14e4:1657
Net L#3 "eno2"
PCI 14e4:1657
Net L#4 "eno3"
PCI 14e4:1657
Net L#5 "eno4"

NUMANode L#1 (P#1 63GB)
[...]
HostBridge L#8
PCIBridge
PCI 8086:10fb
Net L#7 "ens5f0"
PCI 8086:10fb
Net L#8 "ens5f1"

and 'numactl --hardware' tells me my cpu cores are located as follows:

available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53
node 0 size: 63470 MB
node 0 free: 26682 MB
node 1 cpus: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71

and I want to run 31 snorts with zbalance_ipc, should I be doing
this?

modprobe ixgbe RSS=1,1 numa_cpu_affinity=18,19,...,35,54,55,...,N
/usr/local/pf/sbin/zbalance_ipc -i zc:ens5f0 -m 4 -n 31,1 -c 99 -g 70 -S 71

and using

--daq-var bindcpu=18
--daq-var bindcpu=19
[...]
--daq-var bindcpu=35
--daq-var bindcpu=54
--daq-var bindcpu=55
--daq-var bindcpu=N

for my snort processes?

Thanks,
