[NET]: Port 2.4.x pktgen to 2.5.x

parent d380ed5e
How to use the Linux packet generator module.
1. Enable CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN to compile and build pktgen.o, install it
in the place where insmod may find it.
2. Cut script "ipg" (see below).
3. Edit script to set preferred device and destination IP address.
3a. Create more scripts for different interfaces. Up to thirty-two
pktgen processes can be configured and run at once by using the
32 /proc/net/pktgen/pg* files.
4. Run in shell: ". ipg"
5. After this two commands are defined:
A. "pg" to start generator and to get results.
B. "pgset" to change generator parameters. F.e.
pgset "clone_skb 100" sets the number of coppies of the same packet
will be sent before a new packet is allocated
pgset "clone_skb 0" use multiple SKBs for packet generation
pgset "pkt_size 9014" sets packet size to 9014
pgset "frags 5" packet will consist of 5 fragments
pgset "count 200000" sets number of packets to send, set to zero
for continious sends untill explicitly
stopped.
pgset "ipg 5000" sets artificial gap inserted between packets
to 5000 nanoseconds
pgset "dst 10.0.0.1" sets IP destination address
(BEWARE! This generator is very aggressive!)
pgset "dst_min 10.0.0.1" Same as dst
pgset "dst_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum destination IP.
pgset "src_min 10.0.0.1" Set the minimum (or only) source IP.
pgset "src_max 10.0.0.254" Set the maximum source IP.
pgset "dstmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC destination address
pgset "srcmac 00:00:00:00:00:00" sets MAC source address
pgset "src_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through. The
'minimum' MAC is what you set with srcmac.
pgset "dst_mac_count 1" Sets the number of MACs we'll range through. The
'minimum' MAC is what you set with dstmac.
pgset "flag [name]" Set a flag to determine behaviour. Current flags
are: IPSRC_RND #IP Source is random (between min/max),
IPDST_RND, UDPSRC_RND,
UDPDST_RND, MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND
pgset "udp_src_min 9" set UDP source port min, If < udp_src_max, then
cycle through the port range.
pgset "udp_src_max 9" set UDP source port max.
pgset "udp_dst_min 9" set UDP destination port min, If < udp_dst_max, then
cycle through the port range.
pgset "udp_dst_max 9" set UDP destination port max.
pgset stop aborts injection
Also, ^C aborts generator.

CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN
This module will inject preconfigured packets, at a configurable
rate, out of a given interface. It is used for network interface
stress testing and performance analysis. If you don't understand
what was just said, you don't need it: say N.
Documentation on how to use the packet generator can be found
at <file:Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt>.
This code is also available as a module called pktgen.o ( = code
which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
whenever you want). If you want to compile it as a module, say M
here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
