Hi Shaohua, This is a good feature but I am not sure if this is in the scope of testpmd application. Testpmd has basic packet generation capabilities, and it is useful for quick/dirty testing, but for more advanced packet generation perhaps other tools like pktgen [1] can be used, what do you think? What is the justification to have this feature in testpmd, and what is your usecase? [1] https://git.dpdk.org/apps/pktgen-dpdk/
