[dpdk-dev] Rx-errors with testpmd (only 75% line rate)

Hi Michael,

May I suggest that you try to be more selective in the core masks on the
command line. The test app may choose some cores from "other" CPU sockets.
Only enable cores of the one socket to which the NIC is attached.

After re-reading *that* thread, it appears that their problem may have been
trying to achieve ~40 Gbits/s of bandwidth (2 ports x 10 Gb Rx + 2 ports x
10 Gb Tx), plus overhead, over a typical dual-port NIC whose total bus
bandwidth is a maximum of 32 Gbits/s (PCI express 2.1 x8).
