Hey Jeff, I'm not sure why I didn't see this in testing using on the test-pmd app, but it's obvious that this will cause issues. I'll add code to increment the refcnt in each mbuf by (num_of_slaves -1) in the bond_ethdev_tx_broadcast() function and also add a unit test to validate this in the next version of the patch.

Thanks,
Declan
