You do not need multiqueue to send traffic for few TCP flows, because packets will reach 64KB size very fast. If you want fairness, then multiqueue wont do it, unless you add some kind of shaper. TCP is handling one flow, not an arbitrary number of flows. If you need fairness, then you need an AQM like FQ. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
