I went through the programming guide but I had one question regarding Tx and Rx queues per port. Are they configurable entirely in software or do they depend on the HW (NIC)? Does the L2 configuration (MAC address) apply to all the queues on the port? (and hence will an application like say a network stack need packets from all the queues in the port)? Thanks Jyotiswarup Raiturkar
