and counts the answers.

- can automatically run different load steps, which can be given as
list or ranges
- results per load step can be stored in CSV file
- sender address can be spoofed from a given network or from pcap file,
if payload is a pcap file
- answers are counted, even if source address is spoofed, if answers get
routed back to the load generator
- roundtrip-times are measured (average, min, mix)
- amount of DNSSEC queries can be given as percentage of total traffic
- optimized for high amount of packets. On an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430
