<p>The supported IO modes are listed with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bngblaster</span> <span class="pre">-v</span></code> but except
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">packet_mmap_raw</span></code> all other modes are currently considered experimental. In
the default mode (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">packet_mmap_raw</span></code>) all packets are received in a Packet MMAP
ring buffer and sent directly through RAW packet sockets.</p>
<p>The default <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tx-interval</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rx-interval</span></code> of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1.0</span></code> (1ms) allows precise timestamps
and high throughput. Those values can be further increased (e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0.1</span></code>) for higher throughput
or decreased (e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">5.0</span></code>) for lower system load.</p>
<p>It might be also needed to increase the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">io-slots</span></code> from the default value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">4096</span></code> to
reach the desired throughput. The actual meaning of IO slots depends on the selected IO mode.
For Packet MMAP, it defines the maximum number of packets in the ring buffer.</p>
