Has anyone started to think about how NetBSD can take advantage
of NICs that have a larger number of rx/tx descriptor rings,
and/or MSI interrupts?

For example, would this get tied in with ALTQ or something else?

Should I be able to dedicate a rx/tx ring pair to http traffic
and another to ssh, etc?

...but to do any of that will require some sort of framework.
