A method for receiving packet data by means of a data processing system having a plurality of processing cores and supporting a network interface device and a set of at least two software domains, each software domain carrying a plurality of data flows and each supporting at least two delivery channels, the method comprising: receiving at the network interface device packet data that is part of a particular data flow; selecting in dependence on one or more characteristics of the packet data a delivery channel of a particular one of the software domains, said delivery channel being associated with a particular one of the processing cores of the system; and mapping the incoming packet data into said selected delivery channel such that receive processing of the packet is performed by the same processing core that performed receive processing for preceding packets of that data flow.
