Depends on what do you expect from packet generator. I personally map physical NIC VF into container and use them to feed packets in from remote T-Rex box. You can also use VPP packet-generator to play PCAP file or craft packets and send them to memif interface, but I wold not expect great performance. Latest option would be to use libmemif to write own packet-generator code.....
