to get the required firmware.
Pre-Installation Configuration
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
for details.
+Jumbo: Limitation
+-----------------
+
+Rx descriptor limit for number of segments per MTU is set to 1.
+PMD doesn't support Jumbo Rx scatter gather. Some applciations can
+adjust mbuf_size based on this param and max_pkt_len.
+
+For others, PMD detects the condition where Rx packet length cannot
+be held by configured mbuf size and logs the message.
+
+Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ [...]
+ [bnx2x_recv_pkts:397(04:00.0:dpdk-port-0)] mbuf size 2048 is not enough to hold Rx packet length more than 2046
