Hi,

I am testing packet drops scenario by setting the MTU size.=A0
My setup have i40evf driver. I set the dpdk interface's MTU size to 1800.=
=A0
I am sending 100 packets of size 1918 each.
I am expecting the drop counter to increment.
rte_eth_stats_get() returns i.packets with number of packets I sent.=A0
There are no drop counters incrementing. Also my application is not recievi=
ng any packets.
Is there some issue with dpdk statistics?
xstats=A0 output is as follows. It is not showing any drops but rx_good_byt=
es counts are incrementing.
