[dpdk-dev] [PATCH RFC 06/11] mbuf: replace data pointer by an offset

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi Venky,

It's very difficult to compare things without code examples.
Please, provide:
- a patch for your proposal
- an example application which allows to test and understand the performance 
issue you are pointing out

PS: please don't top post, it makes this thread difficult to read
