#
# -------------------- Jumbo Frame --------------------
# default_mtu
# The size of the default MTU (payload without the ethernet header)
# Allowed values: 1500 - 16366
# Default value: 1500
#
# default_mtu = 1500;
#
# -------------------- Flow Control --------------------
# flow_control
# Ethernet flow control
# Allowed values: 0 - Disable
# 1 - Receive only
# 2 - Transmit only
# 3 - Receive and transmit
# default value: 3
#
# flow_control = 3;
#
# tx_queue_number
# The number of the transmit queues
# Allowed values: 1 - 32
# Default value: 1
#
# tx_ring_size
# The number of the transmit descriptors per transmit queue
# Allowed values: 64 - 4096
# Default value: 512
#
# rx_queue_number
# The number of the receive queues
# Allowed values: 1 - 64
# Default value: 1
#
# rx_ring_size
# The number of the receive descriptors per receive queue
# Allowed values: 64 - 4096
# Default value: 512
#
# Note: The final values of tx_queue_number and rx_queue_number are decided
# by the number of interrupt vectors obtained by the driver. They could be
# less than the specified values because of limited interrupt vector number.
#
# -------- How to set parameters for a particular interface ---------
# The example below shows how to locate the device path and set a parameter
# for a particular ixgbe interface. (Using flow_control as an example)
#
# Use the following command to find out the device paths for ixgbe,
# more /etc/path_to_inst | grep ixgbe
#
# For example, if you see,
#
# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,\<pci10de\>5d@e" unit-address = "0"
# flow_control = 1;
# name = "pciex8086,10c6" parent = "/pci@0,0/\<pci\>pci10de,5d@e" unit-address = "1"
# flow_control = 3;
