If I recall correctly, this was discussed at DPDK Userspace: If mbuf->nb_segs is used for multicasting (or port flooding), it should have the same size as mbuf->port. Someone please correct me if I'm mixing things up. The mbuf discussion is important! Med venlig hilsen / kind regards - Morten Brørup
