Maximum Number of RSS Queues

• One queue is used when low CPU utilization is required.
• Two queues are used when good throughput and low CPU utilization are required.
• Four or more queues are used for applications that demand high transaction rates
such as web server based applications. With this setting, the CPU utilization may
be higher.
