Test 'ipfixsend - two inputs udp' fails

[ghost]

The test ipfixsend - two inputs udp always fails. By looking at the test's output files, it can be concluded that a significant amount of data is missing (compared to the expected output).

The diff files (expected.log and output.log) are available in this Gist:

I've tried this but all tests are OK. Can you try to following change?

For your info: similar tests over TCP and SCTP run perfectly fine.

The problem seems to be with UDP loosing some data. Can you try to lower the sending speed?

 wait $!

That works. It may be good to fix this, as the issue may occur on many other systems as well.

Ok, I've slowed down the sending of data over UDP.
