*Project summary
The project goal is to support multiqueue network interface on BPF,
and provide interfaces for multithreaded packet processing using BPF.
Modern high performance NICs have multiple receive/send queues and RSS
feature, this allows to process packet concurrently on multiple
processors.
Main purpose of the project is to support these hardware and get
benefit of parallelism.
