Re: [PATCH 2/2] samples: pktgen: allow to specify destination port

Thanks for the review!

About the equivalent port in the same burst thing, I didn't realize it
would work in
that way. It doesn't matter in my use-case, but thank you for letting me know!

Currently, kernel pktgen has the feature to specify udp destination port
for sending packet. (e.g. pgset "udp_dst_min 9")

But on samples, each of the scripts doesn't have any option to achieve this.

This commit adds the DST_PORT option to specify the target port(s) in the script.

    -p : ($DST_PORT)  destination PORT range (e.g. 433-444) is also allowed

Nice feature, this look very usable for testing.  I think my QA asked
me for something similar.

One nitpick is that script named pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
implies this is a single flow, but by specifying a port-range this will
be more flows.  I'm okay with adding this, as the end-user specifying a
port-range should realize this.  Thus, you get my ACK.

Another thing you should realize (but you/we cannot do anything about)
is that when the scripts use burst or clone, then the port (UDPDST_RND)
will be the same for all packets in the same burst.  I don't know if it
matters for your use-case.
