Thank you both for the link to moongen, i did not see it during my research and it seems the project is exactly studying what I'm facing. Moongen in its software solution is filling gaps sending invalid packets. I'm not sure I can go with that solution but it is worth testing.
Best Regards,
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,
I don't personally have experience, however the MoonGen traffic generator has a few solutions to this problem; I can recommend reading their documentation on rate control[1], and the paper they wrote on the topic[2].
Hopefully that leads you to a solution, -Harry
