qdisc = queue discipline type, in this case, a clasfull multiqueue, Multiqueue is a feature is otherwise referenced as RSS (Receive-Side-Scaling) which basically is distributing the load of packet processing among several cores.

state = interface state, UP, DOWN, etc
qlen = queue length, in this case 1000 packets.
