pg3 8 iputils-&snapshot; pg3, ipg, pgset send stream of UDP packets source ipg pg pgset odev Name of Ethernet device to test. See warning below. pkt_size Size of packet to generate. The size includes all the headers: UDP, IP, MAC, but does not account for overhead internal to medium, i.e. FCS and various paddings. frags Each packet will contain count Send stream of ipg Introduce artificial delay between packets of dst Select IP destination where the stream is sent to. Beware, never set this address at random. dst Select MAC destination where the stream is sent to. Default value is 00:00:00:00:00:00 in hope that this will not be received by any node on LAN. stop Abort packet injection. When output device is set to some random device different of hardware Ethernet device, Do not use it on VLAN, ethertap, VTUN and other devices, which emulate Ethernet not being real Ethernet in fact. Robert Olsson <robert.olsson@its.uu.se>. This can be used only by superuser. This tool creates floods of packets which is unlikely to be handled even by high-end machines. For example, it saturates gigabit link with 60 byte packets when used with Intel's e1000. In face of such stream switches, routers and end hosts may deadlock, crash, explode. Use only in test lab environment. http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-current.tar.bz2.
