Hey Maxim,
can you explain what MTT stands for?

What if PAGE_SIZE != 4096 ? Is aligned mode with 2k frame fine for MTT
case?

I don't know your hardware much, but how would this work out performance
wise? Are there any config combos (page size vs chunk size in unaligned
mode) that you would forbid during pool attach to queue or would you
better allow anything?

Also would be helpful if you would describe the use case you're fixing.

Thanks!
