Ok Stephen, thanks for the information, I can try that.
One of the problems I see with single Tx Queue mode is that Ixia reports
packet drops, though I confirmed with the help of counters (before invoking
tx burst) that all packets are being sent-out. Dumping HW counters don't
report any drops in TX.
Is there a mechanism in DPDK to debug this?
Thanks & Regards,
Rajasekhar
