Hi, user here. Thank you for doing this. I think that your primary concern at this point should be stability of this driver. While transferring data over ix interfaces you could try shutting down interfaces and bring them up. maybe something like this in loop: ifconfig ix0 down && ifconfig ix0 up && ifconfig ifconfig ix1 down && ifconfig ix1 up && ifconfig ix0 down && ifconfig ix1 down && sh netstart if you have some sx or lx sfp+ modules insert/remove them in ix interfaces and stuff link that. regarding performance testing if you have other box with 10G interfaces you could directly connect these boxes and generate lots of traffic over your driver and doing all that crazy stuff..
