+Sample and benchmark scripts for pktgen (packet generator)
+==========================================================
+This directory contains some pktgen sample and benchmark scripts, that
+can easily be copied and adjusted for your own use-case.
+
+General doc is located in kernel: Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt
+
+Helper include files
+====================
+This directory contains two helper shell files, that can be "included"
+by shell source'ing.  Namely "functions.sh" and "parameters.sh".
+
+Common parameters
+-----------------
+The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter parsing
+across the sample scripts.  Usage example is printed on errors::
+
+ Usage: ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh [-vx] -i ethX
+  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
+  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
+  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
+  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
+  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
+  -f : ($F_THREAD)  index of first thread (zero indexed CPU number)
+  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
+  -n : ($COUNT)     num messages to send per thread, 0 means indefinitely
+  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
+  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
+  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug
+
+The global variable being set is also listed.  E.g. the required
+interface/device parameter "-i" sets variable $DEV.
+
+Common functions
+----------------
+The functions.sh file provides; Three different shell functions for
+configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(), pg_thread()
+and pg_set().
+
+These functions correspond to pktgens different components.
+ * pg_ctrl()   control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
+ * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
+ * pg_set()    control setup of individual devices
+
+See sample scripts for usage examples.
