In some vendors the RX and TX configuration must be the same, therefore the MTU size need to be equal to max_rx_pkt_len. The MTU is the largest size packet in bytes that can be sent on the network, therefore before changing this parameter, the NIC could not receive packets larger than 1500 bytes, which is the default MTU size. In addition, scatter-gather need to be enabled in order to receive frames bigger than mbuf size.
