+*New* Stateless support was released see more in the folowing section
Traditionally, network infrastructure devices have been tested using commercial traffic generators, while performance was measured using metrics like packets per second (PPS) and No Drop Rate (NDR). As the network infrastructure functionality has become more complex, stateful traffic generators have become necessary in order to test with more realistic application traffic pattern scenarios.
Realistic and Stateful traffic generators are needed in order to:

+* Support for 1, 10, 25, 40 interfaces
+* Profile can support multiple streams, scalable to 10K parallel streams
+* Supported for each stream:
+** Packet template - ability to build any packet (including malformed) using link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapy[Scapy] (example: MPLS/IPv4/Ipv6/GRE/VXLAN/NSH)
+** Field engine program
+*** Ability to change any field inside the packet (example: src_ip = 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255)
+*** Ability to change the packet size (example: random packet size 64-9K)
+** Mode - Continuous/Burst/Multi-burst support
+** Rate can be specified as:
+*** Packets per second (example: 14MPPS)
+*** L1/L2 bandwidth (example: 500Mb/sec)
+*** Interface link percentage (example: 10%)
+** Support for HLTAPI-like profile definition
