PCAP files for Pktgen are sent over and over again, if you want that single packet to be sent once then set the TX count to 1.
The number of packets used for PCAP packets is limited, so a large or huge number of packets in a pcap file may not be sent as only the first N number of packets from the PCAP file will be used. I do not remember the number but you can use the ‘page pcap’ command and/or look at the startup output.
