Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update. A few minor comments below.

This should probably be "register (1)"

Maybe a little clearer as:

The wider register gives space to hold multiple packet buffers so as to save
on the number of instructions when bulk processing packets.

s/if all condition checks pass./if all conditions are met./


> +As vPMD is focused on high throughput, it 4 packets at a time.  So it

s/it 4 packets at a time/it processes 4 packets at a time/
