Hello everyone,

I am new to DPDK and I am trying to understand if it's possible to do a
scatter send, namely use a scatter gather list of pointers to user memory
instead of copying the payload in the mbuf. This is a feature supported by
NIC drivers but I can't find a way to use it with DPDK. Is it exposed?

Any help is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Marios
