 Hello!

 If you like to do stress testing in terms packets/sec or Mbit/sec there is 
 a little program pg3.c in the iputils package. With a hacked e1000 driver 
 it can fill a GIGE pipe in the range 256-1500 byte packets and w. smallest
 (64 byte) packets just over 1 Mpps can be sent with a PIII @ 933 MHz.


 Cheers.
