On my Linux system I see this:
# ip link list
....
2: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
....
What's qdisc mq
? In http://lartc.org/lartc.html I find only information about IMQ.
In the examples in the howto there are also qdisc noop
and qdisc noqueue
, but no details about them.

A google search would have easily yielded this article from the vger kernel mailing list:
Multiqueue is a feature is otherwise referenced as RSS (Receive-Side-Scaling) which basically is distributing the load of packet processing among several cores. Further reading: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/networking/scaling.rst
