   Hello,   
      
   what are the methods to test QoS functions (specifcally I'm interested in   
   traffic shaping, scheduling) without packet generators Smartbits or Ixia,   
   but having only a few PCs and a target board running some code on L2 switch?   
   So basically, I'm trying to implement QoS support for a Ethernet chip, i.e.   
   QoS per se is done in hardware, my software is doing configuration and   
   monitoring, and thus I want to check if it really works or not.   
      
   Let's say, connect one PC to port 1 of the board and second PC to port 2,  I   
   can generate traffic via port 1 and expect to be shaped or scheduled   
   accordingly -- what is the sdcenario, or procedure, to do this? What tools,   
   utilities I could use for this, provided that both PCs and the board run   
   Linux?   
      
   Thanks.
