I try to send out as many as
possible 15Kbyte-long ethernet packets to try to
utilize the giga-bit/sec bandwidth

If you just want to generate packets then try pktgen in Linux-2.4.19:

CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN
This module will inject preconfigured packets, at a configurable rate, out of a given interface. It is used for network interface stress testing and performance analysis. If you don't understand what was just said, you don't need it: say N.

Documentation on how to use the packet generator can be found at <file:Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt>.

This code is also available as a module called pktgen.o ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
