Abstract

Testing network processor based high throughput applications require high-speed traffic generator. Commercial traffic generators are very expensive and their internal working is proprietary. Hence, we have designed a network processor based network Traffic Generator (TG). The Control Plane (CP) takes care of the configuration of the traffic profile. The data plane (DP) is responsible for actual generation of the traffic. The TG requires another copy of TG or any other traffic generator for calibration. We explain the calibration methodology and the results of our experiments. Our system has been able to generate traffic up to 10Gbps.
