Description 
If you configure the network interface to be slow (e.g., a 10 Mbps Ethernet by
  ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000hdx_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_1000fdx_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100fdx_cap 0
  ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_100hdx_cap 0
) and then have a UDP or raw socket application send as fast as possible, the socket will only send about 8000 packets and then sleep forever in sendto().
