 In the AF_PACKET fanout mode, packet reception can be load balanced among
 processes. This also works in combination with mmap(2) on packet sockets.
 
+Currently implemented fanout policies are:
+
+  - PACKET_FANOUT_HASH: schedule to socket by skb's rxhash
+  - PACKET_FANOUT_LB: schedule to socket by round-robin
+  - PACKET_FANOUT_CPU: schedule to socket by CPU packet arrives on
+  - PACKET_FANOUT_RND: schedule to socket by random selection
+  - PACKET_FANOUT_ROLLOVER: if one socket is full, rollover to another
+
 Minimal example code by David S. Miller (try things like "./test eth0 hash",
 "./test eth0 lb", etc.):
