Wireblast a 100 Gbps packet generator in Go using AF_XDP

Andree Toonk, a network engineer who loves pushing packets to their limits in software, introduces Wireblast, a new open-source tool that generates traffic at line rate using Go and AF_XDP. The post details how Wireblast leverages AF_XDP's high-performance packet processing capabilities to achieve 100 Gbps throughput, and includes benchmark results and comparisons with other methods like DPDK. It's a must-read for anyone interested in high-speed networking and Go.
