Hello Team,

I am trying to find the limit of the available size of the packets.

While I was testing with the L2 Forwarding
(sending pingpong packets from client to server(L2 fwd))

I wasn't able to get a good result when I increased my packet size to
2048.
Of course I have changed the default size of the RTE-BUF and the pools for
each client and server before increasing the size of the packets.


Does this problem have to do with the NIC architecture?
If so, is there a document to find out the correct limit size for the
packets?


Thank you for reading this letter
