Currently two qdiscs are optimized for multiqueue devices. The first is the
default pfifo_fast qdisc. This qdisc supports one qdisc per hardware queue.
A new round-robin qdisc, sch_multiq also supports multiple hardware queues. The
qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's and then directing the skb's to
bands and queues based on the value in skb->queue_mapping. Use this field in
the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb to.
sch_multiq has been added for hardware that wishes to avoid unnecessary
requeuing. It will cycle though the bands and verify that the hardware queue
sch_multiq has been added for hardware that wishes to avoid head-of-line
blocking. It will cycle though the bands and verify that the hardware queue
associated with the band is not stopped prior to dequeuing a packet.
On qdisc load, the number of bands is based on the number of queues on the

The behavior of tc filters remains the same. However a new tc action,
