Traffic Generator Example Configuration (Non-ADQ)

To test AF_​XDP functionality with ADQ, it is recommended to run multiple streams of traffic to the ADQ-configured AF_​XDP server. There are multiple ways to generate the traffic, some are hardware based (IXIA, Spirent, etc.) and others are software only.
