Does your traffic have multiple 5 tuple flows to distribute it across multiple 
Rx queues?

Subject: Problem configuring vhost-user NICs with multi queues (RSS) support

Hi all,

I have a problem with the configuration of the sample application l3fdw for 
switching traffic between two vhost-user NICs, each with 4 queues. The traffic 
was generated using TREX, running inside a VM.

When I traced my experiment, I noticed that the traffic was only received in 
queue "0", while the other RX queues were empty. When I run the application, a 
msg is printed "Port 1 modified RSS hash function based on hardware 
support,requested:0xa38c configured:0".

It seems that while the vhost-user NIC implementation supports multiple queues, 
it does not support distributing the traffic between the RX queues.

I wonder if there is a way to make it work?

Thank you,

PS:
