| |
With pktgen.o configured to send 123MB/S on a gigabit on a system using pktgen set to the following parms:
pgset "odev eth1" pgset "pkt_size 1500" pgset "count 0" pgset "ipg 5000" pgset "src_min 10.0.0.1" pgset "src_max 10.0.0.254" pgset "dst_min 192.168.0.1" pgset "dst_max 192.168.0.254"
After 37 hours of continual packet generation into a gigabit regeneration tap device, the server system console will start to respawn the INIT process about every 10-12 hours of continuous packet generation.
As a side note, this module in Linux is extremely useful and the "USE WITH CAUTION" warnings are certainly will stated. The performance of this tool is excellent.
