From d11d651f6d972a9802f1dc20ed9eaebcd367bc3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shahaf Shuler Date: Tue, 1 May 2018 12:58:49 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: add Rx and Tx tuning parameters A new ethdev API was exposed by commit 3be82f5cc5e3 ("ethdev: support PMD-tuned Tx/Rx parameters") Enabling the PMD to provide default parameters in case no strict request from application in order to improve the out of the box experience. While the current API lacks the means for the PMD to provide the best possible value, providing the best default the PMD can guess. The values are based on Mellanox performance report and depends on the underlying NIC capabilities.
