Subject: Re: [PATCH] pktgen: Clone skb to avoid corruption of skbs in
ndo_start_xmit methods

How "everyday use" is pktgen considered?  As "everyday use" as
netperf/iperf/whatnot? Is it actually considered something one would
run
on production rather than test systems?

Totally agree. There are quite a few ways to send traffic from
user-space. Build a pcap file and then blast it from user-space. No sane
sysadmin would use pktgen on production systems to begin with.
