The documentation misses a few of the supported flags. Fix this. Also respect the dependency to CONFIG_XFRM for the IPSEC flag. Cc: Fan Du <fan.du@windriver.com> Cc: "David S.

HOWTO for the linux packet generator
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Date: 041221
|
|
|
|
Enable CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN to compile and build pktgen.o either in kernel
|
|
or as module. Module is preferred. insmod pktgen if needed. Once running
|
|
pktgen creates a thread on each CPU where each thread has affinity to its CPU.
|
|
Monitoring and controlling is done via /proc. Easiest to select a suitable
|
|
a sample script and configure.
|
|
|
|
On a dual CPU:
|
|
|
|
ps aux | grep pkt
|
|
root 129 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 523:20 [pktgen/0]
|
|
root 130 0.3 0.0 0 0 ? SW 2003 509:50 [pktgen/1]
|
|
|
|
|
|
For monitoring and control pktgen creates:
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/ethX
|
|
|
|
|
|
Viewing threads
|
|
===============
|
|
/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
|
|
Name: kpktgend_0 max_before_softirq: 10000
|
|
Running:
|
|
Stopped: eth1
|
|
Result: OK: max_before_softirq=10000
|
|
|
|
Most important the devices assigned to thread. Note! A device can only belong
|
|
to one thread.

Configuring threads and devices
|
|
================================
|
|
This is done via the /proc interface easiest done via pgset in the scripts
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
pgset "clone_skb 1" sets the number of copies of the same packet
|
|
pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits
|
|
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 continuous sends until explicitly stopped.
|
|
|
|
pgset "delay 5000" adds delay to hard_start_xmit(). 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 "dst6 fec0::1" IPV6 destination address
|
|
pgset "src6 fec0::2" IPV6 source address
|
|
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 "queue_map_min 0" Sets the min value of tx queue interval
|
|
pgset "queue_map_max 7" Sets the max value of tx queue interval, for multiqueue devices
|
|
To select queue 1 of a given device,
|
|
use queue_map_min=1 and queue_map_max=1
|
|
|
|
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 # IP destination is random
|
|
UDPSRC_RND, UDPDST_RND,
|
|
MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND
|
|
TXSIZE_RND, IPV6,
|
|
MPLS_RND, VID_RND, SVID_RND
|
|
FLOW_SEQ,
|
|
QUEUE_MAP_RND # queue map random
|
|
QUEUE_MAP_CPU # queue map mirrors smp_processor_id()
|
|
UDPCSUM,
|
|
IPSEC # IPsec encapsulation (needs CONFIG_XFRM)
|
|
NODE_ALLOC # node specific memory allocation
|
|
|
|
pgset spi SPI_VALUE Set specific SA used to transform packet.
|
|
|
|
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 "mpls 0001000a,0002000a,0000000a" set MPLS labels (in this example
|
|
outer label=16,middle label=32,
|
|
inner label=0 (IPv4 NULL)) Note that
|
|
there must be no spaces between the
|
|
arguments. Leading zeros are required.
|
|
Do not set the bottom of stack bit,
|
|
that's done automatically. If you do
|
|
set the bottom of stack bit, that
|
|
indicates that you want to randomly
|
|
generate that address and the flag
|
|
MPLS_RND will be turned on. You
|
|
can have any mix of random and fixed
|
|
labels in the label stack.
|
|
|
|
pgset "mpls 0" turn off mpls (or any invalid argument works too!)
|
|
|
|
pgset "vlan_id 77" set VLAN ID 0-4095
|
|
pgset "vlan_p 3" set priority bit 0-7 (default 0)
|
|
pgset "vlan_cfi 0" set canonical format identifier 0-1 (default 0)
|
|
|
|
pgset "svlan_id 22" set SVLAN ID 0-4095
|
|
pgset "svlan_p 3" set priority bit 0-7 (default 0)
|
|
pgset "svlan_cfi 0" set canonical format identifier 0-1 (default 0)
|
|
|
|
pgset "vlan_id 9999" > 4095 remove vlan and svlan tags
|
|
pgset "svlan 9999" > 4095 remove svlan tag
|
|
|
|
|
|
pgset "tos XX" set former IPv4 TOS field (e.g. "tos 28" for AF11 no ECN, default 00)
|
|
pgset "traffic_class XX" set former IPv6 TRAFFIC CLASS (e.g. "traffic_class B8" for EF no ECN, default 00)
|
|
|
|
pgset stop aborts injection. Also, ^C aborts generator.
|
|
|
|
pgset "rate 300M" set rate to 300 Mb/s
|
|
pgset "ratep 1000000" set rate to 1Mpps
|
|
|
|
Example scripts
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A collection of small tutorial scripts for pktgen is in examples dir.
|
|
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1 # 1 CPU 1 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-2 # 1 CPU 2 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-2-1 # 2 CPU's 1 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-2-2 # 2 CPU's 2 dev
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev w. route DoS
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6 # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-ip6-rdos # 1 CPU 1 dev ipv6 w. route DoS
|
|
pktgen.conf-1-1-flows # 1 CPU 1 dev multiple flows.
|
|
|
|
Run in shell: ./pktgen.conf-X-Y It does all the setup including sending.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interrupt affinity
|
|
===================
|
|
Note when adding devices to a specific CPU there good idea to also assign
|
|
/proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity so the TX-interrupts gets bound to the same CPU.
|
|
as this reduces cache bouncing when freeing skb's.
|
|
|
|
Enable IPsec
|
|
============
|
|
Default IPsec transformation with ESP encapsulation plus Transport mode
|
|
could be enabled by simply setting:
|
|
|
|
pgset "flag IPSEC"
|
|
pgset "flows 1"
|
|
|
|
To avoid breaking existing testbed scripts for using AH type and tunnel mode,
|
|
user could use "pgset spi SPI_VALUE" to specify which formal of transformation
|
|
to employ.
|
|
|
|
