NT_NetTxAddPacket

Because of the new transmission features in Huntington Beach 2 it is recommended that the NT_NetTxAddPacket function (see DN-0449) introduced in Huntington Beach 1 is no longer used. The NT_NetTxAddPacket function is still available but it reduces the TX throughput. Instead the new dynamic packet descriptor 3 (see DN-1108) should be used for adding, for instance, VLAN tags or MPLS labels to the transmitted packets.
