+Multiple Queue Set per DPDK port configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two types of VFs:
+
+- Primary VF
+- Secondary VF
+
+Each port consists of a primary VF and n secondary VF(s). Each VF provides 8 Tx/Rx queues to a port.
+When a given port is configured to use more than 8 queues, it requires one (or more) secondary VF.
+Each secondary VF adds 8 additional queues to the queue set.
+
+During PMD driver initialization, the primary VF's are enumerated by checking the
+specific flag (see sqs message in DPDK boot log - sqs indicates secondary queue set).
+They are at the beginning of VF list (the remain ones are secondary VF's).
+
+The primary VFs are used as master queue sets. Secondary VFs provide
+additional queue sets for primary ones. If a port is configured for more then
+8 queues than it will request for additional queues from secondary VFs.
+
+Secondary VFs cannot be shared between primary VFs.
+
+Primary VFs are present on the beginning of the 'Network devices using kernel
+driver' list, secondary VFs are on the remaining on the remaining part of the list.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The VNIC driver in the multiqueue setup works differently than other drivers like `ixgbe`.
+ We need to bind separately each specific queue set device with the ``tools/dpdk-devbind.py`` utility.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Depending on the hardware used, the kernel driver sets a threshold ``vf_id``. VFs that try to attached with an id below or equal to
+ this boundary are considered primary VFs. VFs that try to attach with an id above this boundary are considered secondary VFs.
+
+
+Example device binding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If a system has three interfaces, a total of 18 VF devices will be created
+on a non-NUMA machine.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ NUMA systems have 12 VFs per port and non-NUMA 6 VFs per port.

+We want to bind two physical interfaces with 24 queues each device, we attach two primary VFs
+and four secondary queues. In our example we choose two 10G interfaces eth1 (0002:01:00.2) and eth2 (0002:01:00.3).
+We will choose four secondary queue sets from the ending of the list (0002:01:01.7-0002:01:02.2).
+
+
+#. Bind two primary VFs to the ``vfio-pci`` driver:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:00.2
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:00.3
+
+#. Bind four primary VFs to the ``vfio-pci`` driver:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:01.7
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:02.0
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:02.1
+ tools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0002:01:02.2
+
+The nicvf thunderx driver will make use of attached secondary VFs automatically during the interface configuration stage.
