Download and install the latest release of Tcpreplay on the test machine.

To prepare for this test, do the following: That’s often hard to do, so we have provided an excellent packet capture in this example. Consider capturing large amount of traffic at an Internet access point, capturing real traffic from hundreds of users. Tcpreplay should replay traffic that is random, chatty and arbitrary. The type of test data sent is significant with some IP Flow/NetFlow devices. We will do this by enabling logging in nprobe. It is important to track the amount of traffic sent and received, and determine the amount of lost data. Typically tcpreplay is so fast that it outperforms the receiving station. I created enhancements in Tcpreplay 4.0, allowing it to generate wire-rate traffic and extreme flow-per-second rates. This allows us to understand the ratio of flows captured vs. We use nprobe logging features to record the number of packets, bytes and flows per second captured. In this example we are sending high flows-per-second (fps) traffic to a DUT running nprobe.

You can also find netmap source at How to do a Performance Test for a Flow Appliance configure -with-netmap=/home/fklassen/git/netmap Otherwise you must specify the netmap source directory, for example: If you extract netmap into /usr/src/ or /usr/local/src you can build without extra configure options. To enable the netmap driver on the system you will need to recompile the kernel with "device netmap" included.įor Linux, download latest and install netmap from. It is automatically detected when running configure. For example, you may see interruptions while testing on the same interface you ssh'ed into.įreeBSD 10 and higher already contain netmap capabilities.

Note that bypassing the network driver will disrupt other applications connected through the test interface. This bypass allows tcpreplay to achieve full line rates on commodity network adapters. When installed, tcpreplay can bypass the network stack and write directly to the NIC buffers. Netmap is a Linux/BSD kernel driver that will enhance Tcpreplay performance. Sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcap-devĭownload the Tcpreplay source code and extract tarball. For example, on a base Ubuntu or Debian system you may need to do the following: You need to compile Tcpreplay, but first ensure that you have prerequisite software installed. It is also beneficial if the machine has the fastest memory available. We suggest an Intel i7 processor system, and an Intel 82599 or x540 10GigE network adapter connected to an 8-lane PCIe slot. If you are testing at 10GigE rates, you will need better hardware. To achieve full wire rates, you will be installing one of the netmap supported network drivers. If you are only testing at GigE rates, any modern Intel 64-bit x86 system will do as long as you are able to install Linux or FreeBSD. $ tcprewrite -enet-dmac=00:55:22:AF:C6:37 -infile=input.pcap -outfile=output.pcap Using tcprewrite, set the destination MAC address of all packets to reflect the DUT, for example:

#Netmap from mac update#

If you must connect through a switch, you need to update your pcap files. On your test device you will run tcpreplay to read “pcap” network capture files and replay them to the DUT. Try to connect the test device directly to the DUT. Testing to a web server is possible with tcpliveplay, but this is beyond the scope of this article. Do not test to an application or web server. The DUT can be any network device that is able to process traffic to/from many sources. Let’s assume that you have a network “device under test” (DUT) and a test device running the Tcpreplay 4.0 product suite. Using these instructions, you will be able to recreate the following test results on your own NetFlow device. It demonstrated tcpreplay and its ability to generate unique flow traffic at up to 10GigE wire rates. Today I will walk you through the steps required to build your own high-performance packet generator. My blog “ Why Test NetFlow with Tcpreplay 4.0” introduced Tcpreplay 4.0 as an alternative to hardware packet generators.

#Netmap from mac generator#

Want to build a packet generator using free software and commodity hardware? Wouldn’t it be nice if that packet generator was just as fast as expensive hardware-based packet generators? What if it was more powerful, flexible and easier to use than commercial alternatives?
