It's for a routing project. So i'm only interessted in max pps for the integrated GigE interface. I tried netperf. But netperf don't show me the max. limit of pps for 4kbyte packets (only interessted in small udp packets). netstat -w 1 is not really usefull, because it doesn't show the real limit. Is there a way to measure the pps limit? Perhaps with netperf? Regards, Thomas
