Im using packETHcli on fedora image. how can I send fragmented packets? i want to send packets larger than 1500B. trying to reach maximum rate, it should be around 10Gbps but im getting only 940Mbps... great app btw
you can send packets larger then 1500 bytes, just be sure that you set correctly the MTU with the ip mtu command. packETH works with raw socket and packets larger than the MTU will not fragment but rejected. packETH by design can not fragment packets you can only send packets with the fragment bit set.
