 .SH DESCRIPTION
 FQ (Fair Queue) is a classless packet scheduler meant to be mostly
 used for locally generated traffic.  It is designed to achieve per flow pacing.
 FQ does flow separation, and is able to respect pacing requirements set by TCP stack.
 All packets belonging to a socket are considered as a 'flow'.
-For non local packets (router workload), packet rxhash is used as fallback.
+For non local packets (router workload), packet hash is used as fallback.
 
 An application can specify a maximum pacing rate using the
 .B SO_MAX_PACING_RATE

 Default: 1024.
+.SS orphan_mask
+For packets not owned by a socket, fq is able to mask a part of skb->hash
+and reduce number of buckets associated with the traffic. This is a DDOS
+prevention mechanism, and the default is 1023 (meaning no more than 1024 flows

 .SS [no]pacing
 Enable or disable flow pacing. Default is enabled.
+.SS ce_threshold
+sets a threshold above which all packets are marked with ECN Congestion
+Experienced. This is useful for DCTCP-style congestion control algorithms that
+require marking at very shallow queueing thresholds.
