snappi Extension for IxNetwork

license Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. Build pypi python Total alerts Language grade: Python downloads

This extension allows executing test scripts written using snappi against
IxNetwork, (one of) Keysight's implementation of Open Traffic Generator.

The repository is under active development.

To start contributing, please see contributing.md.

Install on a client

python -m pip install --upgrade "snappi[ixnetwork]"

Start scripting

Configure a raw TCP flow with,
- tx port as source to rx port as destination
- frame count 10000, each of size 128 bytes
- transmit rate of 1000 packets per second
Validate,
- frames transmitted and received for configured flow is as expected
