Linux 2.6.9 pktgen

Utility is very good for traffic generation, however, you may wish to consider adding a parameter
to increase tx_queue_len for the device underneath if you choose to inject traffic from multiple
sources into the device for testing. With the tx_queue_len set to defaults, I see a lot of traffic
from above getting dropped when tests are running. I have had to increase this number to
60000 to get around certain test scenarios.

Just a suggestion.
