I need a tool to stress test our network in between two machines.

The app should send out a packet to machine 2, machine 2 should send it back, machine 1 verifys the packet is correct, generates a new packet and the process starts all over.

Anyone know of such an app?

You want iperf. It's super tiny, cross platform, and dead simple to use.

Linux – Network manager keeps creating DHCP connection

This is a issue I ran across many times with 8.10 with a server. I had to uninstall Network Manager, after that I had no issues. If you have a static IP you really don't need it anyways. You can either do that or stop it from starting up. I would suggest just uninstalling it all together. I believe it is

sudo apt-get remove gnome-network-manager or sudo apt-get remove network-manager

Linux – Layer 2 (VMAC) Network Redundancy Options for Linux

VRRP (RFC2338 for VRRPv2, RFC5798 for VRRPv3 which added IPv6 support) uses a virtual MAC address for each instance's virtual router, but still sends gratuitous ARP on a switchover.

While the keepalived VRRP implementation ignores this part of the specification and simply uses the interface MAC, VRRPd is capable of using the virtual MAC.

However, the concept of a virtual MAC doesn't play well with the Linux concept of a network interface; the VRRPd process must change the interface's MAC address to the virtual MAC when it takes over, which prevents running multiple VRRP virtual routers on a given interface.
