With multiple virtual CPUs, you can transfer packages in parallel if you provide multiple queues for incoming and outgoing packets. Use the `queues` attribute of the `driver` element to configure multiple queues. Specify an integer of at least 2 that does not exceed the number of virtual CPUs of the virtual server.
