TRex Kathará Labs #1026

Open tcaiazzi opened 1 year ago

tcaiazzi commented 1 year ago

Hi all,

I recently started to use TRex and I developed two Kathará labs for training.

The first is a very simple scenario to show the usage of the TRex Python API when the TRex client and server are deployed separately. The second tests the data-plane of a simple two-PoDs fat-tree where a TRex server is deployed inside the data center and a TRex client is deployed outside.

Kathará is an open source container-based network emulator. It supports all the main OSes (Linux, Windows, MacOS) and it is very simple to install and use (all the instructions are provided in the repository).

I think this is a very good starting point for newbies and for learning, if you are interested please take a look: https://github.com/tcaiazzi/kathara-trex-labs

The repo also contains a Dockefile to build an updated Docker Image of TRex.

Maybe you can add the labs as reference.

Thanks, Tommaso

Hi When trex client and server deployed separately, how to fetch the received stats information in stateless traffic ?

tcaiazzi commented 1 year ago

Hi @pankajrodge,

Sorry, but I used only the Stateful API for now.

If I develop labs with the Stateless API I will ping you!

However searching the docs I found this method:

get_stats(ports=None, sync_now=True)
    Gets all statistics on given ports, flow stats and latency.

See here for more details: https://trex-tgn.cisco.com/trex/doc/cp_stl_docs/api/client_code.html
