pktgen creates a thread on each CPU where each thread has affinity to its CPU. |

Monitoring and controlling is done via /proc. Easiest to select a suitable a sample script and configure. On a dual CPU: ps aux | grep pkt root 129 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 523:20 [pktgen/0] root 130 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 509:50 [pktgen/1] |

This is done via the /proc interface easiest done via pgset in the scripts Examples: pgset "clone_skb 1" sets the number of copies of the same packet pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits pgset "pkt_size 9014" sets packet size to 9014 pgset "frags 5" packet will consist of 5 fragments pgset "count 200000" sets number of packets to send, set to zero |

pgset "delay 5000" adds delay to hard_start_xmit(). nanoseconds pgset "dst 10.0.0.1" sets IP destination address (BEWARE! This generator is very aggressive!) pgset "dst_min 10.0.0.1" Same as dst pgset "dst_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum destination IP. pgset "src_min 10.0.0.1" Set the minimum (or only) source IP. pgset "src_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum source IP. pgset "dst6 fec0::1" IPV6 destination address pgset "src6 fec0::2" IPV6 source address pgset "dstmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC destination address pgset "srcmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC source address |

pgset "queue_map_min 0" Sets the min value of tx queue interval pgset "queue_map_max 7" Sets the max value of tx queue interval, for multiqueue devices To select queue 1 of a given device, use queue_map_min=1 and queue_map_max=1 |

pgset "src_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through. The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with srcmac. pgset "dst_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through. The 'minimum' MAC is what you set with dstmac. pgset "flag [name]" Set a flag to determine behaviour. Current flags are: IPSRC_RND #IP Source is random (between min/max), IPDST_RND, UDPSRC_RND, UDPDST_RND, MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND |

set the bottom of stack bit, that indicates that you want to randomly generate that address and the flag MPLS_RND will be turned on. You can have any mix of random and fixed labels in the label stack. pgset "mpls 0" turn off mpls (or any invalid argument works too!) |

Run in shell: ./pktgen.conf-X-Y It does all the setup including sending. Interrupt affinity =================== Note when adding devices to a specific CPU there good idea to also assign /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity so the TX-interrupts gets bound to the same CPU. as this reduces cache bouncing when freeing skb's. Current commands and configuration options ========================================== ** Pgcontrol commands: start stop ** Thread commands: add_device rem_device_all max_before_softirq ** Device commands: count clone_skb debug frags delay src_mac_count dst_mac_count pkt_size min_pkt_size max_pkt_size |
