| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| trafficgen-base | Contains several Bash functions to validate prerequisite tools and utilities, expand number lists, and resolve device IDs based on input parameters. |
| trafficgen-client | Wrapper script for running binary-search.py with some additional options, including resolving logical DPDK IDs from PCI device locations, and reporting search summary results. It also validates prerequisites and shuts down TRex at the end of the script. |
| trafficgen-get-runtime | Returns "-1" to request unbounded runtime. |
| trafficgen-import-files | Imports a TRex config and a traffic profile, and copies them to specified destination paths. It also validates the JSON traffic profile using a Python script. |
| trafficgen-infra | Launches a TRex service and performs several checks and validations to ensure the service is running correctly. It also provides options for setting TRex parameters such as CPUs, memory limit, and Mellanox support. |
| trafficgen-post-process | Processes and logs data from the tests on a Trex traffic generator by parsing the JSON files generated by the tests and extracting the desired fields to log. The logged data is then organized and outputted with file name "metric-data-$period_name.json.xz"; the JSON files adhere to a Common Data Model (CDM) Schema. |
| trafficgen-server-start | Starts a traffic generator server for testing network traffic. It sets default values for various options, processes command-line options to override the defaults, determines the device to be used and the corresponding CPUs, and builds the command-line options for the traffic generator testpmd. Finally, it runs testpmd with the generated options. |
| trafficgen-server-stop | Stops the trafficgen server and logs the output to a file named "trafficgen-server-stop-stderrout.txt". It allows the user to specify the switch type as "testpmd" or "null". |
