38# Sizing of send and receive queues.
39#
40# Note that this determines the size of the RX and TX rings that mlxcx will
41# advertise to MAC. It also determines how many packet buffers we will allocate
42# when starting the interface.

68#
69# This places an upper ceiling on how many MAC addresses can be filtered into
70# groups across the whole NIC. If you have a lot of VNICs you might want to
71# raise this (and probably also rx_ngroups_small).

79# associated with before falling back to software classification. Two entries
80# are always reserved for the non-VLAN catch-all and promisc entries.
81#
82# Note: illumos MAC today only supports giving a single VLAN per MAC address
83# to hardware drivers anyway, so setting this higher is pointless until that
84# changes.
