And if just payload length is required one can get by subtracting (ip-hdr-len + tcp-offset) from total length in ip header ...

I'm confused, is there any errors about the code to compute the payload_len of rte_mbuf? I think maybe the dpdk-pktgen cannot send the packets with payload? I'm a beginner, anyone can help me how to compute the payload_len of rte_mbuf and test it? Thank you in advance!
