Hello Devs
I'm new to DPDK and trying to understand the basics. I went through the
programming guide but I had one question regarding Tx and Rx queues per
port. Are they configurable entirely in software or do they depend on the
HW (NIC)? Does the L2 configuration (MAC address) apply to all the queues
on the port? (and hence will an application like say a network stack need
packets from all the queues in the port)?
 Thanks
