Usage:
ruch COMMANDS
COMMANDS is one of:
eth inserts Ethernet II header
vlan inserts VLAN header
ip inserts IP header
udp inserts UDP header
zeros inserts specified number of zeros
len inserts zeros to reach specific frame length
timestamp inserts a current timestamp
str inserts NULL terminated string into the frame
dev send frames through device
count limit number of packets that the generator will send in total
send
rate send packets at specified rate
burst specifies how many packets generator will be sending at once
times repeats the current frame definition N times
forever generate traffic until ruch is terminated
