===== Goals =====

The overall goal is to support scaling parallel workloads (TCP, UDP, forwarding) across multi-core and multi-socket machines.

  * Review what other operating systems are doing (Windows, Linux, %%DragonflyBSD%%)
  * Discuss the work done in Robert Watson's TCP branch (pcbgroups, RSS hashing)
  * Discuss the parallel TCP/UDP support (eg Linux/%%DragonflyBSD%% - supporting multiple listeners for TCP/UDP traffic and picking a CPU-close one to handle the incoming frame/session)
  * Determine a path forward for implementation.
