ng_source was a netgraph module we wrote and contributed. It can transmit ~800Kpps on a PCI-X system. The code is in src/sys/netgraph/ng_source.c. I drive it with a tcl library that can create arbitrary packets with an object-oriented model, let me know if you'd like to try that. --don _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
