Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] selftests: drv-net: pace ethtool_std_stats packet generation
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 09:36:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808163653.2460381-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

mausezahn defaults to sending packets back to back at the maximum rate,
which can cause packet loss, especially if receiver is running a debug
kernel. Space the generated packets out (-d 10usec), like ethtool_rmon
already does.
