+CRC stripping

 The OCTEON TX SoC family NICs strip the CRC for every packets coming into the
 host interface irrespective of the offload configuration.

 is fixed and cannot be changed. So, even when the ``rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len``
 member of ``struct rte_eth_conf`` is set to a value lower than 32k, frames
 up to 32k bytes can still reach the host interface.

+Maximum mempool size
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+The maximum mempool size supplied to Rx queue setup should be less than 128K.
+When running testpmd on OCTEON TX the application can limit the number of mbufs
