mininet: Find an automated traffic pattern generator #19

Closed ecklm closed 4 years ago

ecklm commented 4 years ago

The traffic patterns (roughly) defined in the thesis paper should be automated to the maximum possible extent for the experiments to be repeatable and uniform for different controller parameters.

Requirements

Timestamping
Have a preconfigured playbook for when and how much egress traffic should change
Traffic type (protocol and port) should be selectable
Output easy to save and use as CSV (for graph generation later on)

I've gotten this recommendation: Harpoon Flow Generator

ecklm commented 4 years ago

Harpoon seems to be an overcomplicated, not so well-thought solution. I'd rather avoid it if there is a better alternative out there.

ecklm commented 4 years ago

Ostinato and Nping are interesting ideas, although Ostinato turns out to be closed-source and to be paid for, and Nping seems to be more targetted towards reconnaissance.

I finally decided to simply go for bash scripts with preset iperf commands.
