[dpdk-users] xl710 NIC doesn't receive 1518 bytes packets

[Alex Kiselev]

The issue with receiving 1518 byte packets is half resolved. It was an
MTU problem. I moved rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() before the
rte_dev_dev_start and it helped. Thanks to Alex _
<asb.tyum at gmail.com>.
So, 1518 packets now are successfully sent and received.

But, now I've got the same problem with the bonding driver. I created
a bond port with four i40e slave ports and place it in the LACP mode.
And the bond port doesn't receive 1518 bytes packets.

Please, help me to resolve the issue.
