Basic thread model of application is same as examples/qos_sched. On ixgbe: RX desc = 4000 - RX free threshold=32 TX desc = 512 - TX free threshold=0 so driver sets default of 32 I was setting rx/tx conf but since examples don't went away from that. The whole RX/TX tuning parameters are a very poor programming model only a hardware engineer could love. Requiring the application to look at driver string and choose the magic parameter settings, is in my opnion an indication of using incorrect abstraction.
