As the l3fwd example application requires this info, the i40e vector
driver must be disabled to benefit of the packet type with i40e.
+* **Mellanox PMDs (mlx4 & mlx5):**
+
+ * PMDs do not support DPDK integrated shared library.
+
+ * There is performance degradation for small packets when PMD
+ is compiled with SGE_WR_N = 4 compared to the performance when SGE_WR_N = 1.
+ If scattered packets are not used it is recomended
+ to compile PMD with SGE_WR_N = 1.
+
+ **mlx4:**
+
+ * When a Multicast or Broadcast packet is sent to the SR-IOV VF,
+ it is returned back to the port.
