[Click] Multi-threaded Traffic Generation

[Roman Chertov]

I am not sure what your MQToDevice element does (i assume it uses multiple tx
queues for a single device).

However, with the script below
pd0 :: InfiniteSource(DATA \<00 00 c0 ae 67 ef  00 00 00 00 00 00  08 00
       45 00 00 28  00 00 00 00  40 11 77 c3  01 00 00 01
       02 00 00 02  13 69 13 69  00 14 d6 41  55 44 50 20
       70 61 63 6b  65 74 21 0a  04 00 00 00  01 00 00 00
       01 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  00 80 04 08  00 80 04 08
       53 53 00 00  53 53 00 00  05 00 00 00  00 10 00 00
       01 00 00 00  54 53 00 00  54 e3 04 08  54 e3 04 08
       d8 01 00 00>, LIMIT -1, STOP true) 
    -> q1 :: CPUQueue(1000) 
    -> uq0 :: Unqueue2 
    -> Discard;

StaticThreadSched(pd0 0, uq0 0);

pd1 :: RandomSource(1400) 
    -> q2 :: CPUQueue(1000) 
    -> uq1 :: Unqueue2
    -> Discard;

When I run top, I can see to kclick hogging up two CPUs.
