Ubuntu 14.04 Interrupts

I haven't had this problem on any server until this point so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I seem to be getting interrupts:

%Cpu0 : 0.3 us, 2.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 89.0 id, 1.3 wa, 7.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
%Cpu1 : 0.3 us, 0.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
%Cpu2 : 0.0 us, 0.0 sy, 0.0 ni,100.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
%Cpu3 : 0.0 us, 2.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 95.3 id, 0.0 wa, 2.7 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st

Depending on traffic, it'll increase to 15%.

Any suggestions? Is it a duplex problem on eth0? Kernel problem?

Thank you!

    High packet count can lead to softirq storms that can stress the server, the traffic is not big but can have 100k pps within 15 GB a day. What is the output of atop?

    Hey Maounique,

    Appreciate the reply. I have since reinstalled the system with a new image thinking the kernel was all outa whack. The system was just setup, with 700 GB of data transferred to it until I noticed this problem. Annoying.

    This server would have done a little more than 15GB of data /day. Haha... the port would have been capped most of the day. I feel better about my decision to start fresh. Thank you Maounique, you're always very helpful.

    When you folks moving iwstack to the US? ;)

    iwstack is already in us in a testing/reduced kind of way (ssd local storage instead of SAN, so not redundancy, no virtual router, firewall on ipv4 on by default (blocks everything, need to open each and every thing you need including icmp). You can choose the zone in the main ui.
    Salvatore is working to a whmcs plugin to control the instances and avoid the usual pitfalls for people not accustomed with the ui.
