Hi Julian,

Perhaps you are referring to my network performance graphs on this thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-April/041323.html

I didn't generate other tests since because I need to fix the test used
before continuing.
I only generate one IP-flow (same IP src/dst, same UDP port): there is no
IP distribution. And by generating only one flow, we didn't use the
multi-queue NIC capability, neither the multi-threaded features (like with
the SMP-pf) of FreeBSD forwarding/firewalling stack.
I plan to add the support of generating multiple IP source/destination to
the netmap pkt-gen, but the current status of this project is: I'm at page
42 of the book "C programming, a modern approach", then you have to wait :-)

By the way, I've documented a little more my benching lab and scripts used
here:
