[net-next PATCH 09/10] pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>]

Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance.

If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is
possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps.  The trick is to take advantage of the
"burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen:
packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

+#
+# Using pktgen "burst" option (use -b $N)
+#  - To boost max performance
+#  - Avail since: kernel v3.18
+#   * commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
+#  - This avoids writing the HW tailptr on every driver xmit
+#  - The performance boost is impressive, see commit and blog [2]
+#
+# Notice: On purpose generates a single (UDP) flow towards target,
+#   reason behind this is to only overload/activate a single CPU on
+#   target host.  And no randomness for pktgen also makes it faster.
