In Stateful the basic building block is a flow/application (That compose from many packets). +However, Using Stateless mode, it is much more flexible as you can define any type of packets and build simple program and in a way you can mimic Stateful but not everything. +For example, you can load a pcap with the number of packets as a link of streams +a->b->c->d-> back to a +And create a program for each stream to change src_ip=10. 0.0.1-10.0.0.254 this will create something similar to Stateful but the underline is totally different. +If you are confused you probably need Stateless. + +.Statful vs Stateless +[cols="1^,3^,3^", options="header"] +|================= +| Feature | Stateless |Statful +| Flow base | No | Yes +| NAT | No | Yes +| Tunnel | Yes | Only specific +| L7 App emulation | No | Yes +| Any type of packet | Yes | No +| Latency Jitter | Per Stream | Global/Per flow +|================= + + +=== TRex package folders [cols="5,5", options="header",width="100%"] |============================= @@ -203,7 +227,7 @@ def register(): return STLS1() ---- <1> Define the packet, in this case it IP/UDP with 10 bytes of 'x'(0x78) .See more here link:http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/doc/[Scapy] -<2> Mode is Continues with a rate of 1 pps (default rate is 1 PPS) +<2> Mode is Continuous with a rate of 1 pps (default rate is 1 PPS) <3> get_streams function is mandatory <4> Each Traffic profile module should have a `register` function @@ -796,7 +820,7 @@ def register(): return STLS1() ---- <1> Define the packet, in this case it IP/UDP with 10 bytes of 'x' -<2> Mode is Continues with rate of 1 PPS (default rate is 1 PPS) +<2> Mode is Continuous with rate of 1 PPS (default rate is 1 PPS) <3> Each Traffic profile module should have a `register` function Now let try to run it throw TRex simulator limiting the number of packets to 10 @@ -3048,6 +3072,36 @@ get keyboard === Appendix +==== Scapy packet examples + +[source,python] +---- + +# udp header +Ether()/IP(src="16.0.0.1",dst="48.0.0.1")/UDP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +# UDP over one valn +Ether()/Dot1Q(vlan=12)/IP(src="16.0.0.1",dst="48.0.0.1")/UDP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +# UDP QinQ +Ether()/Dot1Q(vlan=12)/Dot1Q(vlan=12)/IP(src="16.0.0.1",dst="48.0.0.1")/UDP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +#TCP over IP ove VALN +Ether()/Dot1Q(vlan=12)/IP(src="16.0.0.1",dst="48.0.0.1")/TCP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +# IPv6 over valn +Ether()/Dot1Q(vlan=12)/IPv6(src="::5")/TCP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +#Ipv6 over UDP over IP +Ether()/IP()/UDP()/IPv6(src="::5")/TCP(dport=12,sport=1025) + +#DNS packet +Ether()/IP()/UDP()/DNS() + +#HTTP packet +Ether()/IP()/TCP()/"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.google.com\r\n\r\n" +---- + ==== HLT supported Arguments anchor:altapi-support[] diff --git a/trex_book.asciidoc b/trex_book.asciidoc index 3c7b30fd..ed6d8b37 100755 --- a/trex_book.asciidoc +++ b/trex_book.asciidoc @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ TRex curretly works on x86 architecture and can operates well on Cisco UCS hardw | Bandwidth | Chipset | Example | 1Gb/sec | Intel I350 | Intel 4x1GE 350-T4 NIC | 10Gb/sec | Intel 82599 | Intel x520-D2 Cisco Order tool 2X Intel N2XX-AIPCI01, Intel X520 Dual Port 10Gb SFP+ Adapter -| 40Gb/sec | Intel XL710 Intel X710 | QSFP+, SFP+ +| 40Gb/sec | Intel XL710 Intel X710 | QSFP+ (copper/optical), SFP+ | VMXNET / + VMXNET3 (read notes) | VMware paravirtualize | connect using vmWare vSwitch | E1000 | paravirtualize | vmWare/KVM/VirtualBox @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ def build(bld): source='trex_book.asciidoc waf.css', target='trex_manual.html', scan=ascii_doc_scan) bld(rule='${ASCIIDOC} -a docinfo -a stylesheet=${SRC[1].abspath()} -a icons=true -a toc2 -a max-width=55em -d book -o ${TGT} ${SRC[0].abspath()}', - source='draft_trex_stateless.asciidoc waf.css', target='draft_trex_stateless.html', scan=ascii_doc_scan) + source='draft_trex_stateless.asciidoc waf.css', target='draft_trex_stateless1.html', scan=ascii_doc_scan) bld(rule=convert_to_pdf_book, source='trex_book.asciidoc waf.css', target='trex_book.pdf', scan=ascii_doc_scan) |
