Yeah its not meant to be something that you let run all the time on a real system. I use it for benchmarking things.

However it brings up a point that whatever you use to measure CPU usage invariably uses CPU its self, thus making it less accurate. The subtractive decode method takes this to an extreme, but is accurate because it knows the percentage of the CPU its using (100%) the error in other tools is the inability to know how much CPU they are using. Then again in 99% of the situations this error is negligible.

NAME
trafgen - a high-performance zero-copy network packet generator SYNOPSIS
trafgen [-d|--dev <netdev>][-c|--conf <file>][-J|--jumbo-support] [-x|--interactive][-n|--num <uint>][-r|--rand][-t|--gap <usec>] [-S|--ring-size <size>][-k|--kernel-pull <usec>][-b|--bind-cpu <cpu>] [-B|--unbind-cpu <cpu>][-H|--prio-high][-Q|--notouch-irq][-v|--version] [-h|--help] DESCRIPTION
A high-performance network traffic generator that uses the zero-copy TX_RING for network I/O. For instance, on comodity Gigabit hardware up to 1,488,095 pps 64 Byte pps have been achieved with trafgen. OPTIONS
trafgen --dev eth0 --conf trafgen.txf --bind-cpu 0 Use packet configuration trafgen.txf, eth0 as transmission device and CPU0 for binding the process. OPTIONS
-h|--help Print help text and lists all options. -v|--version Print version. -d|--dev <netdev> Device for transmission i.e., eth0. -c|--conf <conf> Path to packet configuration file. -x|--interactive Start trafgen in interactive mode. -J|--jumbo-support Support for 64KB Super Jumbo Frames -n|--num <uint> Number of packets to generate before exiting. 0 means forever until SIGINT. -r|--rand Randomize packet selection process instead of round-robin. -t|--gap <uint> Interpacket gap in microseconds. -S|--ring-size <size> Manually set ring size to <size>: mmap space in KB/MB/GB. -k|--kernel-pull <uint> Kernel pull from user interval in microseconds. Default value is 10 microseconds. -b|--bind-cpu <cpu> Bind to specific CPU (or CPU-range). -B|--unbind-cpu <cpu> Forbid to use specific CPU (or CPU-range). -H|--prio-high Make this high priority process. -Q|--notouch-irq Do not touch IRQ CPU affinity of NIC. EXAMPLES
Generate traffic defined in trafgen.txf on eth0 using CPU 0 trafgen --dev eth0 --conf trafgen.txf --bind-cpu 0 Generate traffic on eth0 using CPU 0, wait 100 us between packets trafgen --dev eth0 --conf trafgen.txf --bind-cpu 0 --gap 100 Generate 100,000 packet on eth0 using CPU 0 trafgen --dev eth0 --conf trafgen.txf --bind-cpu 0 --num 100000 AUTHOR
