I don't know if you'll always have an equal number of transmit and
receive queues but there's certainly  challenge in terms of
flexibility with this model.

Not really, TX and RX can be mapped to different devices,
or you can only map one of these. What is the trouble?

Suppose you have one multiqueue-capable ethernet card. How can you connect it to multiple rx/tx queues?

tx is in principle doable, but what about rx?

What does "only map one of these" mean? Connect the device with one queue (presumably rx), and terminate the others?


Will packet classification work (does the current multiqueue proposal support it)?
