+=============
+Device start fails if NIC’s max queues > the default number of 128.
+mbuf pool size is dependent on the MAX_QUEUES configuration, if NIC’s max queue number is larger than 128, device start will fail due to insufficient mbuf.
+Change the default number to make it work as below, just set the number according to the NIC’s property:

+For fortville XXV710, #define MAX_QUEUES 352
