+ This is the hardware version of RPS. On multi-queue network

config XPS
- boolean

depends on SMP && SYSFS && USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
default y
+ For multiqueue devices, XPS selects a transmit queue during
+ packet transmission based on configuration. This is done by
+ mapping the CPU transmitting the packet to a queue. XPS can
