Hi Alex,

Could you explain a bit more what you mean with extracts here.  Detailed 
classification (packet field + mask/range => queue / set of queues) would be 
still handled with classification API. This API would offer an easy way to 
spread typical flows (e.g. 5-tuple) into multiple queues (same queue type, 
priority, sync, group).

Hi Petri,
I think it would be useful (for hardware which supports) to be able to specify 
generic packet extracts in addition to protocol related fields. While hash 
works well for uniform distribution, having generic extracts from the packet 
helps in directly selecting the input queue.

Thanks,
Alex
