Virtual network interfaces performance measurement


Hello. Working on my thesis and need a little help. My task is to see how the performance of a network interface is influenced when there are many virtual interface on top of it.

What would be the best test-bed for such a task? Maybe I could interconnect to computers, assign lots of virtual interfaces to each network card and generate huge amount of traffic back and forth? Any suggestions? Anyone wants to cooperate maybe?

You can use "netperf" tool to test interfaces performance.

Use test suite maybe.
Use file transfers to each and compare those to two nic's or multiple nic in same test suite.
