I'm using kqueue() with a EVFILT_WRITE to send udp packets over a
gigabit interface (the job here is to stress test DNS servers).  I'd
like to send packets at wire rates, but somehow the EVFILT_WRITE is
always triggered and I'm dropping a lot of packets on the floor.

Is there a way (preferably with kqueue()) to wait on the bandwidth
available on the card?

Dave.
