[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] app/testpmd: creating mbuf pool based on maximum supported segments

[Sunil Kumar Kori]

Configuring buffer size based following parameters:
- max-pkt-len
- max supported segments per MTU

Buffer size are configured as given below:
- If platform supports infinite segments per packet then default
  buffer size is used.
- If platform supports nb_mtu_seg_max segments then buffer size
  is configured as (max-pkt-len / nb_mtu_seg_max) + headroom
