[Click] Using Click's Traffic generator to test a NetFPGA at userlevel

[Eric Keller]

Do you have multiple NetFPGA cards?  If so, have you considered using 
the supplied PacketGenerator (which captures packets as well)?
http://netfpga.org/foswiki/bin/view/NetFPGA/OneGig/PacketGenerator

Seems like you'd be able to supply a pcap trace of your test traffic, 
capture in pcap format, then post process to determine the metric you're 
testing.  I have not actually used it, so I'd be curious to know if it's 
not sufficient.
