[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] examples/ip_fragmentation: support big packets

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

> 
> In some vendors the RX and TX configuration must be the same, therefore
> the MTU size need to be equal to max_rx_pkt_len.
> The MTU is the largest size packet in bytes that can be sent on the
> network, therefore before changing this parameter, the NIC could not
> receive packets larger than 1500 bytes, which is the default MTU size.
> In addition, scatter-gather need to be enabled in order to receive
> frames bigger than mbuf size.

> v2: move set_mtu() to be done after dev_configure().
