|test tool | pktgen |
| | |
+| | Linux packet generator is a tool to generate packets at very |

+| | To generate random MAC address, IP address, port number UDP |
+| | packets, pktgen uses multiple CPU processors in the |
+| | different PCI bus (PCI, PCIe bus) with Gigabit Ethernet |
+| | tested (pktgen performance depends on the CPU processing |
+| | speed, memory delay, PCI bus speed hardware parameters), |
+| | Transmit data rate can be even larger than 10GBit/s. Visible |
