> PktPump is a line of Linux-based network traffic generators capable of
> generating line rate traffic at 10Gbpsx2, 25Gbps x1, and 40Gbps x1, with
> packet sizes 64 bytes or larger.  There are three parts to PktPump -- the
> hardware, the agent (PktPumpBE), and the controller (PktPumpFE).  While
> the hardware is Cavium Networks's high-performance Liquid IO II, the
> agent and the controller run on (separate) Centos 7.3 instances on
> x86_64.  Operation on other Linux flavors are definitely possible, but
