Subject: [dpdk-users] When do we get non-contiguous mbufs from rte_eth_rx_burst?
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 22:17:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <790E2AC11206AC46B8F4BB82078E34F80627DB12@EXUSMBX06.AD.MLP.com> (raw)

Hey everyone,

Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to receive non-contiguous mbufs from rte_eth_rx_burst? If so, when would this happen? I am thinking that NICs with LSO enabled could possibly do this if data does not fit into  RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE? But if the packet fits, I don't see why the driver could possibly split that across multiple mbufs. Any insight is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vlad
