To be clear: I'm using the 'insmod ixgfbe RSS=2,2" in order to setup 2 RSS 
queues on each of the ports on my dual-port adapter, and I can open the queues 
with things like "dna0@0" or "dna0@1". It creates two tx queues and two rx 
queues for me. I just don't understand what filtering is going on. Are they 
pure round-robin? Or is it automatically doing RSS flows on the inbound 
packets, but allowing me to transmit arbitrary packets on the output? My 
scanner is asynchronous, so I don't really care about associating outbound with 
inbound packets.

Subject: [Ntop-misc] setting up RSS queues
 


I've gone over the documentation and google, and I still don't understand how 
to setup multiple queues.

I see that can use use the network adaper name like "dna0@1" top open queue #1 
on "dna0", but how does that queue get created? How do I set the hashing 
function used for the adapter? Do I create the queues with 'modprobe' or 
'ethtool', or is there an API somewhere that I'm missing?
