byteblowerll 2.22.2

Python API for the ByteBlower Traffic Generator

This package provides access to a ByteBlower server through the ByteBlower API.

The ByteBlower Python Interface allows the user to have fine-grained control over the traffic generation on the ByteBlower server.

Installation

You can install the Python API from https://pypi.org/project/byteblowerll using

$ pip install byteblowerll

When Python 2.7 on 32 bit platforms is desired, one can install this from the ByteBlower simple PyPi repository.

$ pip install --extra-index-url https://setup.byteblower.com/python byteblowerll

Documentation

The documentation is available either online or in the API via

help(any_ByteBlower_object)

For example:

from byteblowerll.byteblower import ByteBlower, ByteBlowerPort
help(ByteBlower)
help(ByteBlowerPort)

from byteblowerll.byteblower import ByteBlower
bb = ByteBlower.InstanceGet()
server = bb.ServerAdd('byteblower-39.lab.excentis.com.')
help(server)

Quick start

To start working with the ByteBlower API, load the package and connect to your server(s).

1. Import the API entrypoint

from byteblowerll.byteblower import ByteBlower

2. Create the root ByteBlower instance

bb = ByteBlower.InstanceGet()

3. Connect to a ByteBlower server

server = bb.ServerAdd('byteblower-39.lab.excentis.com.')

4. Ready to start creating ports and sending traffic!

   Let’s see what we have available:

print(server.DescriptionGet())
