Are ./valte-ctl and ./bridge friends or competitors?

​Hi,

What do you mean by efficiency ?
For the netmap's pkt-gen tool, the option of using range for source or
destination IP address has some big impact because the software checksum
calculation.
Hopefully the Chelsio drivers allow to re-enable checksum offloading​ in
netmap mode: This is mandatory for reaching 10G line-rate with pkt-gen
(with the range option).
