​RSS Load Balancing Profile

Setting the RSS load balancing profile, Advanced Setting, to ClosestProcessor can significantly reduce CPU utilization. However, in some system configurations (such as a system with more Ethernet ports than processor cores), the ClosestProcessor setting may cause transmit and receive failures. Changing the setting to NUMAScalingStatic resolves the issue.
