*How many network packets to allocate for capture*

Type: ``int``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    This tells how many net_pkt to allocate for capturing
    network traffic. Each network frame sent or received
    will allocate one net_pkt for network metadata.
    Each net_pkt will contain a list of net_buf's that contain
    the actual network data.
