Description

Description

The NetAdapterRss resource only allows enabling/disabling Rss, but Set-NetAdapterRss can set other parameters. I use some these parameters when configuring VMQ on Hyper-V hosts.

Proposed properties

NumberOfReceiveQueues
Profile
BaseProcessorGroup
BaseProcessorNumber
MaxProcessorGroup
MaxProcessorNumber
MaxProcessors
NumaNode

Special considerations or limitations

MaxProcessorNumber and MaxProcessors are interdependent so setting them both could cause conflicting settings.

Research direction

Start by locating the NetAdapterRss resource and its tests, then inspect how Set-NetAdapterRss exposes the proposed properties. Define how the additional settings should be represented and validated, especially the dependency between MaxProcessorNumber and MaxProcessors; done means the resource can configure the requested properties without conflicting settings and the tests cover them.
