Tests against XDP are running on the server side when MTU varies from
1500 to 3050 (not including ETH_HLEN, ETH_FCS_LEN and VLAN_HLEN) for a
few days.
I choose the iperf tool to test the maximum throughput and observe the
behavior when the machines are under greater pressure. Also, I use
netperf to send different size packets to the server side with
different modes (TCP_RR/_STREAM) applied.

Sure, the maximum MTU size users could set is 3050 (which is 3072 - 14
- 4 - 4 in ixgbe_change_mtu() function).

I will modify the title and body message both.

I originally intended to let maintainers trace the previous
discussion. Well, I'm going to remove the link.

I'll do it in the v3 patch.
