* ``smfs`` Software managed flow steering. In SMFS mode, the HW
steering entities are created and manage through the driver without
firmware intervention.
+ * ``hmfs`` Hardware managed flow steering. In HMFS mode, the driver
+ is configuring steering rules directly to the HW using Work Queues with
+ a special new type of WQE (Work Queue Element).
SMFS mode is faster and provides better rule insertion rate compared to
default DMFS mode.
