Please provide:
- (rough) number on ingress interfaces
- expected ingress total rate

Cento already does shunting on aggregated queue (for feeding n2disk).

Cento already does load balancing, but not after aggregation (it distribute to 
multiple
egress queues traffic coming from each -i). Please note you can specify an 
interface
pair with -i ethX,ethY if you have two directions from two ingress interfaces 
(i.e. from a TAP).
Is it ok for your use case?
