   3 # Script for max single flow performance
   4 #  - If correctly tuned[1], single CPU 10G wirespeed small pkts is possible[2]
   5 #
   6 # Using pktgen "burst" option (use -b $N)
   7 #  - To boost max performance
   8 #  - Avail since: kernel v3.18
   9 #   * commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
  10 #  - This avoids writing the HW tailptr on every driver xmit
  11 #  - The performance boost is impressive, see commit and blog [2]
  12 #
  13 # Notice: On purpose generates a single (UDP) flow towards target,
  14 #   reason behind this is to only overload/activate a single CPU on
  15 #   target host.  And no randomness for pktgen also makes it faster.
