+  * There is performance degradation for small packets when PMD
+    is compiled with SGE_WR_N = 4 compared to the performance when SGE_WR_N = 1.
+    If scattered packets are not used it is recomended
+    to compile PMD with SGE_WR_N = 1.
+
+  * When a Multicast or Broadcast packet is sent to the SR-IOV mlx4 VF,
+    it is returned back to the port.
