I have a 4.21 QoS Core with 4 RX + 4 TX and detected no regression.
Could you please share the iperf cmds you are using in order for me to reproduce
in my side?

@stmmac users: It would be great if people that have a setup could also perform
teh same iperf test in order to clean in up for everyone.

Thanks,
Joao
