Hi Saverio,

Thanks for the info. The parameter is missing completely:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:19:3d:b8'/>
      <source bridge='qbrba20d1ab-30'/>
      <target dev='tapba20d1ab-30'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

I've came across the blueprint for adding the image property
hw_vif_multiqueue_enabled. Do you know if this feature is available in
Mitaka?

It was merged 2 years ago so should have been there since Liberty.
