The script I ran with kernel 2.6 is:
#! /bin/sh
modprobe pktgen
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/bond0
PGCTL=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
function pgset() {
local result
echo $1 > $PGDEV
result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
fi
}
function pg() {
echo start > $PGCTL
cat $PGDEV
}
echo "add_device bond0" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
pgset "frags 5" # packet will consist of 5 fragments
pgset "dst 192.168.0.1"
pgset "count 0" # sets number of packets to send, set to zero
# for continious sends untill explicitly
# stopped.
