Project description
Keysight IxNetwork Open Traffic Generator
The Keysight IxNetwork implementation of the open-traffic-generator models.
To start contributing, please see contributing.md.
Getting Started
Install client package
python -m pip install --upgrade snappi[ixnetwork]
Start scripting
# for constructing traffic configuration

# for making API calls
from snappi_ixnetwork.ixnetworkapi import Api
