What is TRex?

TRex is an affordable, open-source traffic generator that functions effectively in both stateful and stateless modes, utilizing DPDK to enhance its performance. It is capable of generating Layer 3 to Layer 7 traffic, effectively merging the capabilities of numerous commercial tools into one solution. The stateless mode allows users to manage multiple streams, alter packet fields, and obtain comprehensive statistics, including latency and jitter for each individual stream or group. In addition, its sophisticated stateful features facilitate the emulation of Layer 7 traffic, with extensive support for both TCP and UDP protocols. TRex also includes the ability to simulate a wide range of client-side protocols, including ARP, IPv6, ND, MLD, IGMP, ICMP, DOT1X, DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and DNS, which helps create a realistic testing environment for evaluating the scalability of both clients and servers. This robust set of functionalities not only enhances network testing and performance assessments but also positions TRex as a leading choice among tools for developers and network professionals alike. Its adaptability and extensive capabilities make it an essential resource for anyone looking to optimize their network infrastructure.

What is Ostinato?

When testing network traffic, whether assessing circuit capacity, managing storm control, evaluating Quality of Service (QOS), or implementing L2/L3 Forwarding and SD-WAN Application Policies, as well as multicast snooping, it is crucial to have the right tools at your disposal for the multitude of tasks that network engineers handle daily. The Ixia and Spirent hardware are widely recognized as the benchmark in the networking sector, and you might have experience using them in a professional setting. Additionally, Ostinato is a popular choice among many network engineers for troubleshooting and validating their networks effectively. Users can manually create packets by defining specific protocols, protocol fields, and various parameters tailored to their requirements. Furthermore, it allows for the configuration and management of multiple traffic-generating agents through a single controller. Notably, Ostinato also provides a Python API that supports comprehensive scripting and automation capabilities, ensuring that every action available in the graphical user interface can also be executed via the API for enhanced efficiency. This versatility makes it an invaluable tool in the network engineer's toolkit.
