HOWTO for the linux packet generator

|
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 affinty it's 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 montoring 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 assigend to thread. Note! A device can only belong
|
||
|
|
to one thread.

Confguring 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 continious sends untill explicitl 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 "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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example scripts
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A collection of small tutorial scripts for pktgen is in expamples 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.
