Multi-queue allows network performance to scale with the number of vCPUs and allows for parallel packet processing by creating multiple TX and RX queues. It would be nice to add some information about these tunables when on ESXi using vmx.
For example, on an 8 vCPU VM:
Edit/create the following file
/boot/loader.conf.lcoal
Add the following content
hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist=0
hw.vmx.txnqueue=8
hw.vmx.rxnqueue=8
hw.vmx.txndesc=2048
hw.vmx.rxndesc=2048
Reboot firewall and check queues
vmstat -i
