Since only port 0 support 10Gb/sec and ports 1&2 support up to 2.5Gb/sec. I don't see any reason to change this configurations. Also TX FIFO size could be set only during probe. > It's just that it feels very "hardcoded" to enforce specifically those numbers. > > Also, does it make sense to mention the CP110 here ? Is this 19 KB limitation > a limit of the PPv2.2 IP, or of the CP110 ? PPv2.2 IP is part of 110 communication processor. Next communication processor will has different Packet processor or next generation of PPv2.x Limit is PPv2.2 TX FIFO. Stefan.
