-- ``Number of Queues per VF`` (default ``4``)
-
- The number of queue per VF is determined by its host PF. If the PCI address
- of an i40e PF is aaaa:bb.cc, the number of queues per VF can be configured
- with EAL parameter like -w aaaa:bb.cc,queue-num-per-vf=n. The value n can be
- 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. If no such parameter is configured, the number of queues
- per VF is 4 by default.
