+Disable shared SKB
+==================
+By default, SKBs sent by pktgen are shared (user count > 1).
+To test with non-shared SKBs, remove the "SHARED" flag by simply setting::
+
+ pg_set "flag !SHARED"
+
+However, if the "clone_skb" or "burst" parameters are configured, the skb
+still needs to be held by pktgen for further access. Hence the skb must be
+shared.
