The Snappi Open Traffic Generator Python Package

Project description

snappi

Create test case scripts once using the snappi client and run them using a traffic generator that conforms to the Open Traffic Generator API.

Install the client

pip install snappi

Start scripting

"""A simple test that demonstrates the following:
- A port that transmits an ethernet/vlan/ipv4/tcp flow 
for a specified duration and a port that receives the packets.
- While the flow is transmitting the script prints out tx and rx statistics.
- Once all the packets have been transmitted the script will end.
