Hey Sergey,

this is the behavior I would expect. The way we've implemented it the 
same RSS configuration will get applied to each slave, so in the case of 
say a fail over event in active backup mode as rx traffic is moved onto 
a new master the traffic flows will be directed to the same queues as 
before. If I understand what you are asking for I'm not sure why you 
need a bonded port, why not just used the 2 ports with a single queue 
each rather than a single bonded port with 2 queues?
