[Winpcap-users] Efficient sending huge number of UDP packets at a fixed specified rate

[Сергей Мещерин]

Good day, colleagues!

Do you know efficient way of sending UDP packets at a fixed rate
efficiently?

As far as I know, there are 2 functions for packets sending -
pcap_sendpacket and pcap_sendqueue_transmit. Regarding the first, it's easy
to realize this pseudocode:

while (true) {
    pcap_send_packet(...);
    delay (...);
}

But, as said in WinPcap tutorial, pcap_send_packet is inefficient if you
need high performance (and I need it).

pcap_sendqueue_transmit is optimized efficient way to send packets, but as I
can see, there is no way to specify sending rate in pcap_sendqueue_transmit,
i. e. pcap_sendqueue_transmit will send packets as fast as possible which is
not suitable in my situation.

Can you give any recommendations?
