MoonGen: Software Packet Generation for 10 Gbit and Beyond
نویسندگان
چکیده
Packet generation is crucial to network measurements. Despite its importance, software packet generators lack the accuracy and precision to model realistic test scenarios [1]. Hardware traffic generators provide the necessary precision and accuracy but tend to be inflexible and expensive. MoonGen presents a novel approach to provide flexible, accurate, and precise traffic generation in software on inexpensive commodity hardware. Moreover, it features latency measurements in the sub-microsecond range. We offer MoonGen1 as free software under MIT licence. For more information, we refer the interested reader to the draft of our full paper [2].

متن کاملAXD 301: A new generation ATM switching system
Compactness and scaleability The basic AXD 301 module is contained in a single subrack and has a switching capacity of 10 Gbit/s. The subrack can be configured as a full-fledged, stand-alone switching system with complete duplication of all key components. Because the single-subrack system is actually half a 20-Gbit/s system, two 10-Gbit/s subracks can be interconnected to form a non-blocking 2...
