Design and Implementation of a Software Tester for Benchmarking Stateless NAT64 Gateways

The Benchmarking Working Group of IETF has defined a benchmarking methodology for IPv6 transition technologies including stateless NAT64 (also called SIIT) in RFC 8219. aim our effort is to design and implement test program SIIT gateways, which complies with 8219, thus create the world's first standard free software tool. In this paper, we overview requirements tester on basis make scope decisions: throughput, frame loss rate, latency packet delay variation (PDV) tests are implemented. We fully disclose considerations most important implementation decisions. Our tester, siitperf, written C++ it uses Intel Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). also document its functional initial performance estimation. distributed as under GPLv3 license benefit research, networking communities.
