+       transmit scheduler topology, which helps to smooth out the transmit
+       performance. The default topology is 9-layer. Each layer represents
+       a physical junction in the network. Decreased number of layers
+       improves performance, but at the same time number of network junctions
+       is reduced, which might not be desirable depending on the use case.
