[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/3] app: Used default RX/TX configuration got from dev info in apps

Pablo de Lara pablo.de.lara.guarch at intel.com
Wed Oct 1 11:49:05 CEST 2014


For apps that were using default rte_eth_rxconf and rte_eth_txconf
structures, these have been removed and now they are obtained by
calling rte_eth_dev_info_get, just before setting up RX/TX queues.
