[dpdk-users] Dpdk multi core packet acquisition.

[Gábor LENCSE]

I recommend you to use multi queue receiving (RSS). Thus you do not need 
to use mutual exclusion. (Performance!)
Of course, you need some entropy for the hash function to distribute the 
packets approximately evenly among the queues.
