Design and Application of Packet Generator over IP Network Based on Linux
Tang Zheng-jun · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2006
Aiming at the problem of the value of the network performance measurement existing with certain error with true value of the network performance at present,in this paper,the author designs a network packet generator with parameter controllable Linux-based.This paper expounds its design principle,presents its implement method,and takes sending TCP packet as an example,elaborates the process of generating and sending of packet.At the end of this paper,the packet generator is utilized to measure network performance such as packet delay and packet discard rate,the measurement result indicates that it can accurately control the parameter of packet such as the size,amount and sending velocity.
