[dpdk-dev] i40e: cannot change mtu to enable jumbo frame

Hello Helin,
I tried to send jumbo frames to a i40e card. However, I observed that
all frames are dropped. Moreover, set_mtu function is not implemented on
i40e PMD.

Done.
=> Frame correctly received on port 0, but never forwarded or xmit on
port 1.
Does a mtu_set function will be developed soon in order to support jumbo
frame ?
