If set to 1 (default), hash rethink is performed on listening socket.
If set to 0, hash rethink is not performed.
+txq_reselection_ms
+------------------
+
+Controls how often (in ms) a busy connected flow can select another tx queue.
+
+A resection is desirable when/if user thread has migrated and XPS
+would select a different queue. Same can occur without XPS
+if the flow hash has changed.
+
+But switching txq can introduce reorders, especially if the
+old queue is under high pressure. Modern TCP stacks deal
+well with reorders if they happen not too often.
+
+To disable this feature, set the value to 0.
+
+Default : 1000
