I have reused the part of code from pktgen and I have found that I am missing 
some IDs that's why I have done one simple patch(below) in pktgen which is 
update IP ID field to find out if all packets are sent or not. As you suggest I 
am also missing some IDs here.
My question is if I can use any mechanism to ensure to sending all IDs?

The next my question about packet fragments. Is it possible to setup IP 
fragments from higher level? I do it on low level as pktgen and I have change 
page address to memory which I need to send but it in under UDP.

The point is to create packet with frags > 1 where the first fragment is IP/TCP 
header and the second fragments contains pointer to data which are prepared in 
the memory and will be copied directly by network driver. I am doing the same 
hacked code from pktgen. Is it possible to do it on higher level?

Thanks,
Michal
