tester-l2.click

/*
 * This file implements a fast L2 pktgen which sends UDP traffic on one NIC 
 *  towards a second NIC
 *
 * This can be used to test the throughput of a L2 switch.
 *
 * The second port is used to receive the traffic back and compute 
 * some statistics. We do not respond to ARP packets, hence the L2 limitation.
 *
 * A launch line would be :
 *   sudo bin/click -c 0x7 -n 4 -- conf/fastclick/tester-l2.click L=60 S=1000000 N=100
