README.rst

Sample and benchmark scripts for pktgen (packet generator)

This directory contains some pktgen sample and benchmark scripts, that can easily be copied and adjusted for your own use-case.

General doc is located in kernel: Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt

Helper include files

This directory contains two helper shell files, that can be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh" and "parameters.sh".

Common parameters

The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter parsing across the sample scripts. Usage example is printed on errors:

Usage: ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh [-vx] -i ethX
 -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
 -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
 -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
 -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
 -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
 -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
 -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
 -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
 -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

The global variable being set is also listed. E.g. the required interface/device parameter "-i" sets variable $DEV.

Common functions

The functions.sh file provides; Three different shell functions for configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(), pg_thread() and pg_set().

These functions correspond to pktgens different components.
  • pg_ctrl() control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
  • pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
  • pg_set() control setup of individual devices

See sample scripts for usage examples.
