snappi Extension for IxLoad

This extension allows executing test scripts written using snappi against
IxLoad, (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[ixload]"

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
