The IxNetwork Open Traffic Generator Python Package

Project description

Keysight IxNetwork Open Traffic Generator

Build pypi python license

The Keysight IxNetwork implementation of the open-traffic-generator models.

Getting Started

Install the client

pip install --upgrade ixnetwork-open-traffic-generator

Start scripting

"""A simple test that demonstrates the following:
- A port that transmits an ethernet/vlan/ipv4/tcp flow 
for a specified duration and a port that receives the packets.
- While the flow is transmitting the script prints out tx and rx statistics.
- Once all the packets have been transmitted the script will end.
