The network tester generates traffic so that Ruby's network components can
be tested. Just like the CPU models are agnostic of the memory system in
place, it seems that any traffic generator for testing the interconnect
can be independent of the memory system. In fact, other Ruby testers might
also be relevant for the classic memory system.

Hi Nilay,
How does the network tester relate to the traffic gen? I do not see how
there is any possibility to use it for the use-cases that are captured by
the traffic gen. Could you explain what you were referring to?

Andreas, you need to checkout the network tester in
src/cpu/testers/networktest directory.

Hi Nate,
It is not a tester, it is a stimuli generator for the memory system.
That said, I am happy to move it if that makes more sense. (We are using
it to create regressions for the memory controller though, but that is
simply because it is the easiest way to generate traffic.)
There is nothing (as far as I know) that currently can simply generate
"traffic" with the kind of patterns that are useful for studying
interconnect and memory controller behaviour.
Input is welcome.
Andreas

How is this different from the stuff in src/cpu/testers? And
shouldn't this go in src/cpu/testers?
