Very thanks for detailed information!
Yeh! Its sound great for me. I also can stress test this feature in our
network if you will needed it.

Only i have 2 question ...

1. If kernel use default situation (no tc user create rules, simple
autocreate by network card driver/module) its will normal work with
traffic what must delivered "as is" (not shape)... like IPTV or other
multicast/unicast video stream...
If i understand logic
we have 8 cpu/core and 4 TX queue and 4 RX... one cpu linked to 1
TX/RX.... but if 1 cpu is burned by some process - this cpu will send
its packet later when other cpu and packet is shape... but streams must
go packet by packet to receive device... I understand that it simple
need use hash function for TX queue, but if i understand - RX can't
separate packets to different queues (its doing by hardware?) by hash
function and packets may shape in rx stage because one CPU get it letter
when nedded?
I do not wish to spend your time... only say if it will work normal by
default and i will sleep easy :)

2. I can locate module like sch_multiq at last 2.6.27-rc tree and not
have information of it in google... I need to know only one thing - what
params for hashing was planned for it?

Thanks and thanks again! And again sorry for my English.

Best regals, Badalyan Vyacheslav.
