This pktgen sample script is useful for scalability testing a
receiver.  The script will simply generate one flow per
thread (option -t N) using the thread number as part of the
source IP-address.

The single flow sample (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
have become quite popular, but it is important that developers
also make sure to benchmark scalability of multiple receive
queues.

I have similar script that uses udp_src_min/max to change
port number, since port is easier to match on the target host
and we don't use ipv4 ;)
but this script is also good improvement. Thanks!
