Hi Ferruh,
Some customers are interested in getting better performance with 64B sized
packets. For that, they would need to keep this config disabled.
But in all other cases, by default, we would like to keep Tx switching
enabled (at a reduced performance) as in previous releases.
As stated in other email with Thomas, we shall remove this compile-time
config option in next release and use runtime option instead.
But for 17.08 we need it to be enabled by default.
Thanks.
