Hmmm, sounds like an enhancement request to pktgen is needed here. I will look at adding it to pktgen and it is up to everyone if the example is reasonable to have. For me it does seem reasonable to include as it maybe simpler to setup, but if and when I can add that support to pktgen it may no longer be needed. 

Let me have a look at adding the support and will let you guys know next week.

Thanks Keith
