Hi there! I am interested in setting up an experiment to see how a network of a few computers would cope with traffic. What I aim to do is to write a program that chucks ethernet packets into the network and another to monitor network traffic. The computers I am using are all running freeBSD. I am not sure how I am supposed to be communicating with the NIC. Is it just a matter of writing the packets to the device (i.e. /dev/vq ) and how can I read packets? Can you help? I appreciate it!
