Hi OvS DPDK team,

I am looking at ixgbe_set_rx_function and ixgbe_set_tx_function and would
like to enable vectorized packet handling. Looking at ixgbe_set_rx_function
I see that it depends on device configuration and other parameters like
descriptors, burst sze to enable vectorized Rx and Tx. How do I check which
Tx and Rx OvS is using for processing?

Currently I use descriptors(4096), queues(2) and offloads disabled for
ports so would like to know what configuration changes I need to do to
switch between processing types?

Thanks,
Ravi
