+## Workload Details
+
+This example uses four queues: `q1` through `q4`. The first two of them are bound to a consistent hashing
+exchange with a weight of `1`, while the last two of them use a weight of `2`. This means
+that `q3` and `q4` will get roughly twice as many published messages routed to them
+compared to either `q1` or `q2`.

+## Inspecting Queue States
+
+To list bindings to the exchange and their weights, use
+
+``` shell
+rabbitmqctl list_bindings | grep chx
+```
+
+To list queues and the number of ready messages in them:
+
+``` shell
+rabbitmqctl list_queues name messages_ready
