Hi.

I'm using the following command
tcpreplay -i ens224 -p 4800 -l 0 file.pcap
and at the begining the rate is as expected.

After some time (12-13 days) it starts to replay at full speed.

After stopping with ctrl-c (about 12 hours after going wild) it printed:
Actual: 22192758064 packets (30315118877440 bytes) sent in 1113425.57 seconds
Rated: 27226892.9 Bps, 217.81 Mbps, 19931.96 pps
Flows: 2 flows, 0.00 fps, 1710129550895712 flow packets, 0 non-flow
