 behavior is changed to off.  Flow control in 1 gig mode on these devices can
 lead to Tx hangs.
 
+Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director
+-------------------------------
+Supports advanced filters that direct receive packets by their flows to
+different queues. Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform.
+Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity. Supports multiple parameters
+for flexible flow classification and load balancing.
+
+Flow director is enabled only if the kernel is multiple TX queue capable.
+
+An included script (set_irq_affinity.sh) automates setting the IRQ to CPU
+affinity.
+
+You can verify that the driver is using Flow Director by looking at the counter
+in ethtool: fdir_miss and fdir_match.
+
+Other ethtool Commands:
+To enable Flow Director
+        ethtool -K ethX ntuple on
+To add a filter
+        Use -U switch. e.g., ethtool -U ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 0x178000a
+        action 1
+To see the list of filters currently present:
+        ethtool -u ethX
+
+Perfect Filter: Perfect filter is an interface to load the filter table that
+funnels all flow into queue_0 unless an alternative queue is specified using
+"action". In that case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be
+directed to the appropriate queue.
+
+If the queue is defined as -1, filter will drop matching packets.
+
+To account for filter matches and misses, there are two stats in ethtool:
+fdir_match and fdir_miss. In addition, rx_queue_N_packets shows the number of
+packets processed by the Nth queue.
+
+NOTE: Receive Packet Steering (RPS) and Receive Flow Steering (RFS) are not
+compatible with Flow Director. IF Flow Director is enabled, these will be
+disabled.
+
+The following three parameters impact Flow Director.
+
+FdirMode

+  Software ATR Tx packet sample rate. For example, when set to 20, every 20th
+  packet, looks to see if the packet will create a new flow.
+
+Node
+----
