Thanks David, lgtm, only a few minor syntax issues, please check below.

Can we break the line to reduce the line length:
PMD_LOG(ERR,
	"Dropping multi segment PCAP packet. Size (%zd) > max size (%zd).",

DPDK coding convention requires a tab, instead of aligning to the parenthesis.

Same here, not need to align to the parenthesis.

ditto
