I concur.
You could try playing with routing by assigning certain routes to phys
ifaces. But you are way better off with multiple boxes.

Seems like you have a routing problem.
Say you have 1 box with 2 interfaces, having IP x and y.
When you try to ping or connect to either x or y, the routing table is
being consulted.
The answer of "what is the route to x" is "Local" - and it is treated
as loopback.
I don't think actual packets will go on the wire.
you can try crafting mind bogling routing rules to fix it, or better
use 2 boxes.

Hello folks!
I'm trying to use a Linux box as a packet traffic generator. It has
two
NICs configured with fixed IP addresses, 192.168.2.100/101. For
testing
purposes, I connected the two NICs to each other with a crossed
network
cable (hardware loopback). For what it's worth, they can both be
pinged
from the host and the ifconfig output looks fine.
Later, the crossed cable will be replaced by a radio link (which
relates
to the purpose of all this).
To carry out the packet generation, I downloaded and built the iperf
program (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=808751).
I'd like to sent stuff from .100 to .101 using the client and server
instances of iperf in two console sessions and (later) monitor what's
happening with tcpdump from a third session.
For various reasons, it's not working. (I have successfully done it
using two machines on either side of the radio link, which is the
"standard" method.)
Has anyone on the list done this (using iperf or something similar)
using a single box with two NICs?
Regards,
Daniel
P.S. I'll supply further background material if there is interest in
this subject.
