Subject: examples/l2fwd-keepalive: fix mbuf pool size
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?p=dpdk.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c2b79e8d59f31bc4bd39a7cd8f1960689465979

examples/l2fwd-keepalive: fix mbuf pool size

MBUF pool of size 8192 was causing packet loss when using four ports. To
fix this issue this patch specifies the number of MBUF's per port
instead of having one set MBUF pool size, this way it will adapt to any
number of ports.

Fixes: e64833f2273a ("examples/l2fwd-keepalive: add sample application")
