Hi Nilay,

Ok. Could you perhaps show how to make a traffic generator that would
create something along the lines of an HDLCD controller:

850 Mbyte/s read to a specific address range for time T1, then idling for
T2. Repeat the above.

The whole point is to mimic the traffic of real IP components that we do
not yet have models for.

I am not sure I understand how to do something like this with what is
there at the moment.


There is at least one tester in gem5 that supports specifying the rate at which traffic is pushed in to the network.

But that said, why is it required that this particular traffic pattern that you need should be supported in gem5? There are an infinite number of traffic patterns that can be created. I don't think we are trying to create something that can be used to generate any traffic pattern. The infrastructure should be flexible enough that if some one needs a new traffic pattern, he/she can modify the traffic generator with as less effort as possible.
