+Multi-threading settings
+------------------------
+
+The Kea server can be configured to process packets in parallel using multiple
+threads. Related setting for this feature are:
+
+-  ``enable-multi-threading`` - use multiple threads to process packets in
+    parallel
+
+-  ``packet-thread-pool-size`` - specify the number of threads to process
+   packets in parallel.  Supported values are: 0 (autodetect), any positive
+   number sets number of threads explicitly.
+
+-  ``packet-thread-queue-size`` - specify the size of the queue used by each
+   thread to process packets.  Supported values are: 0 (unlimited), any positive
+   number sets size explicitly.
+
+An example configuration that sets these parameter looks as follows:
+
+::
+
+   "Dhcp4": {
+       "enable-multi-threading": true,
+       "packet-thread-pool-size": 4,
