44  * This node is used for high speed packet geneneration.  It queues
45  * all data recieved on it's 'input' hook and when told to start via
46  * a control message it sends the packets out it's 'output' hook.  In
47  * this way this node can be preloaded with a packet stream which is
48  * continuously sent.
49  *
50  * Currently it just copies the mbufs as required.  It could do various
51  * tricks to try and avoid this.  Probably the best performance would
52  * be achieved by modifying the appropriate drivers to be told to
53  * self-re-enqueue packets (e.g. the if_bge driver could reuse the same
54  * transmit descriptors) under control of this node; perhaps via some
55  * flag in the mbuf or some such.  The node would peak at an appropriate
56  * ifnet flag to see if such support is available for the connected
57  * interface.
