m is the size of the message, and there is clearly an effect of this value...

It does not seem to work :
netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -l 10 -t UDP_STREAM
MIGRATED UDP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to

Adding a "-c" gives the same :
netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -c -l 10 -t UDP_STREAM
MIGRATED UDP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to

Using ifconfig before and after and comparing the TX values I get 98Mbps...

I need to recompile my kernel, as I don't have the CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN
in this one...
