+When VIRTIO_NET_F_MULTIQUEUE feature bit is negotiated, guest can use any
+ of multiple configured transmit queues to transmit a given packet.
+ To avoid packet reordering by device (which gnerally leads to performance
+ degradation) driver should attempt to utilize the same transmit virtqueue
+ for all packets of a given transmit flow.
+ For bi-directional protocols (in practice, TCP), a given network connection
+ can utilize both transmit and receive queues.
+ For best performance, packets from a single connection should utilize the
+ paired transmit and receive queues from the same virtqueue pair; for example
+ both transmitqN and receiveqN.
+ This rule makes it possible to optimize processing on the device side,
+ but this is not a hard requirement: devices should function correctly even
+ when this rule is not followed.
