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.
Viewing devices
===============
Parm section holds configured info. Current hold running stats.
Result is printed after run or after interruption. Example:
/proc/net/pktgen/eth1
Params: count 10000000 min_pkt_size: 60 max_pkt_size: 60
frags: 0 delay: 0 clone_skb: 1000000 ifname: eth1

763292pps 390Mb/sec (390805504bps) errors: 39664
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, UDPSRC_RND,
UDPDST_RND, MACSRC_RND, MACDST_RND
MPLS_RND, VID_RND, SVID_RND
QUEUE_MAP_RND # queue map random
QUEUE_MAP_CPU # queue map mirrors smp_processor_id()
IPSEC # Make IPsec encapsulation for packet
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.
