DESCRIPTION:MoonGen is a flexible high-speed software packet generator.\nI
 t can saturate 10 GbE links with minimum-sized packets while\nusing only a
  single CPU core by running on top of the packet\nprocessing framework DPD
 K. Linear multi-core scaling allows\nfor even higher rates: We have tested
  MoonGen with up to\n178.5 Mpps at 120 Gbit/s. Moving the whole packet gen
 eration\nlogic into user-controlled Lua scripts allows us to achieve the\n
 highest possible flexibility. In addition\, we utilize hardware features\n
 of commodity NICs that have not been used for packet generators\npreviousl
 y. A key feature is the measurement of latency with\nsub-microsecond preci
 sion and accuracy by using hardware\ntimestamping capabilities of modern c
 ommodity NICs. We\naddress timing issues with software-based packet genera
 tors\nand apply methods to mitigate them with both hardware\nsupport and w
 ith a novel method to control the inter-packet\ngap in software. Features 
 that were previously only possible\nwith hardware-based solutions are now 
 provided by MoonGen\non commodity hardware.\n\nLearn more at:\n\n* http://
