As part of a coursework i am changing the kernel's ip lookup code, i have made the changes and i would like to test it .. how should i go about generating data for these ip lookups .. will changing /proc/sys/net/ip_forward to 1 help me generate the data i want ??
In other words, i have different sets of implementation for ip lookup in kernel and i would like to collect the statistics for these implementations , how should i go about it ..
