Hi Liping, >> I think multi queue feature should help.（be careful to make sure the ethtool >> update queue number action also did after reboot the vm）.
Is there a way i can automate this last task to update queue number action after reboot vm :) otherwise i can use cloud-init to make sure all VM build with same config.
