I have 10G box. I can tell cpufreq to go down to 1.1Ghz and I could
reduce the queues to one and hope that it is slow enough.

I played with xdp-trafficgen:
| # xdp-trafficgen udp eno2  -v
| Current rlimit is infinity or 0. Not raising
| Kernel supports 5-arg xdp_cpumap_kthread tracepoint
| Error in ethtool ioctl: Operation not supported
| Got -95 queues for ifname lo
| Kernel supports 5-arg xdp_cpumap_kthread tracepoint
| Got 94 queues for ifname eno2
| Transmitting on eno2 (ifindex 3)
| lo->eno2                        0 err/s                 0 xmit/s
| lo->eno2                        0 err/s                 0 xmit/s
| lo->eno2                        0 err/s                 0 xmit/s

I even tried set the MAC address with -M/ -m but nothing happens. I see
and on drop side something happening when I issue a ping command.
Does something ring a bell? Otherwise I try the pktgen. This is a Debian
kernel (just to ensure I didn't break something or forgot a config
switch).
