> Vmxnet3 driver supports receive data ring viz. a set of small sized
> buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. If a packet fits into
> the receive data ring buffer, the emulation delivers the packet via the
> receive data ring.
> 
> Increasing the receive data ring descriptor size from 128 to 256
> showed performance gains as high as 5% for packets smaller than 256.
