Hi, Pavel.

Sorry, I missed this mail from users@ mailing list.
It would be nice to create an issue in DPDK Bugzilla
and have the dedicated thread to handle.

What DPDK version do you use? Syndromes in this report
are different ones, at my first glance it looks like as not
correct MTU or max packet length is configured. The NIC receives
the packet with the length exceeding for what queue was configured
and packet data overwrite the descriptors, resulting into syndromes.

With best regards,
Slava
