Traffic Control

Chassis Traffic

Starts or stops the traffic on a number of ports on the chassis simultaneously. The ports are identified by pairs of integers (module port).

Corresponding CLI command: C_TRAFFIC

# Chassis Traffic
await tester.traffic.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.ON, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.OFF, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic.set_on(module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic.set_off(module_ports=[0,0,0,1])

Synchronized Chassis Traffic

Works just as the C_TRAFFIC command described above with an additional option to specify a point in time where traffic should be started. This can be used to start traffic simultaneously on multiple chassis. The ports are identified by pairs of integers (module port).

Note

This requires that the chassis in question all use the TimeKeeper option to keep their CPU clocks synchronized.

Corresponding CLI command: C_TRAFFICSYNC

# Synchronized Chassis Traffic
await tester.traffic_sync.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.ON, timestamp=1234567, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic_sync.set(on_off=enums.OnOff.OFF, timestamp=1234567, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic_sync.set_on(timestamp=1234567, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
await tester.traffic_sync.set_off(timestamp=1234567, module_ports=[0,0,0,1])
