trex-generator

TRex is an open source, low cost, stateful and stateless traffic generator
fuelled by DPDK. This snap packages the TRex server, console and Python
automation client from the upstream trex-core source.

The server runs in afpacket mode on kernel interfaces, without hugepages
or NIC driver binding. DPDK PCI mode is not supported under strict
confinement.

Setup

 sudo snap connect trex-generator:network-control

 sudo snap connect trex-generator:hardware-observe

 sudo snap connect trex-generator:process-control

 sudo snap connect trex-generator:system-observe

Configuration

Configuration files, scripts and their output live in
/var/snap/trex-generator/common. Select the server configuration with sudo snap set trex-generator config=<path relative to that directory>
(default trexcfg.yaml), or pass --cfg <absolute path>.

Commands

- trex-generator.t-rex-64: TRex server
- trex-generator.console: interactive console
- trex-generator.python: Python with the TRex automation client
