Hi Alex, Could you explain a bit more what you mean with extracts here. Detailed classification (packet field + mask/range => queue / set of queues) would be still handled with classification API. This API would offer an easy way to spread typical flows (e.g. 5-tuple) into multiple queues (same queue type, priority, sync, group).

While hash works well for uniform distribution, having generic extracts from the packet helps in directly selecting the input queue. Thanks, Alex
