513 is an interesting number. Any particular reason for it? Maybe this was mentioned before and I just missed it ;)


quite large, too. I thought multiple queue pairs were useful
to split the load for multicore machines, but targeting VMs with
up to 256 cores (and presumably an equal number in the host)
seems really forward looking.

On the other hand, the message is dated april first...
