Hello All,
Hat-tip, Aaron and everybody else responsible for tcpreplay. The tool is
great and many thanks.
I need to generate traffic at speeds greater than 1Gbps and am not sure if I
want to invest in test equipment from vendors like Ixia or Spirent. So far,
tcpreplay on stock hardware has been just fine for speeds approaching that
limit. I wanted to ask if other users have much experience with running
tcpreplay on machines with 10GE NICs.
Specifically:
1. How fast could you transmit, with what kind of traffic?
2. What hardware did you use - NIC, CPU, motherboard etc?
3. Any tips or advice?
My goal is to get near and preferably beyond 5Gbps. If I can't achieve this
with a single machine, I might buy a switch to aggregate multiple 1Gbps
feeds, but of course, that's more involved from a management standpoint. Any
advice on alternative low-cost traffic generation solutions is also
appreciated.
Thanks,
Hardik.
