From: Remy Horton Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:43:19 +0000 (+0100) Subject: app/testpmd: make use of per-PMD Tx/Rx parameters X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8599ed31f2cfad122f6a2096093193f9793f876c;p=dpdk.git app/testpmd: make use of per-PMD Tx/Rx parameters The optimal values of several transmission & reception related parameters, such as burst sizes, descriptor ring sizes, and number of queues, varies between different network interface devices. This patch allows testpmd to make use of per-PMD tuned parameter values.
