YES P4.org open source developer days meeting 2024-Apr-02, with presentation

[Andy Fingerhut]

Date: April 2, 2024

Time: 11am-noon USA Pacific time

Speaker: Steffen Lindner

Subject: The P4TG traffic generator and analyzer

We present P4TG, an open-source P4-based traffic generator (TG) which runs on the programmable Intel Tofino ASIC. In generation mode, P4TG is capable of generating traffic up to 1 Tb/s split across 10x 100 Gb/s ports. Thereby it measures rates directly in the data plane. Generated traffic may be fed back from the output to the input ports, possibly through other equipment, to record packet loss, packet reordering, inter-arrival times (IATs) and sampled round trip times (RTTs). Further, it supports VLAN, QinQ, and MPLS encapsulation. In analysis mode, P4TG measures rates on the input ports and IATs, and forwards traffic through its output ports. Existing software or P4-based traffic generators either lack the required accuracy, do not support high data rates, or do not provide sufficiently integrated measurement capabilities.

This presentation will be recorded, and the recording will be published soon-ish after the meeting, I believe on the P4.org YouTube channel.

Regards,

Andy Fingerhut

NOTE: Today's meeting requires registering, and I believe might also require you to have a Linux Foundation account.  Individual Linux Foundation accounts are free to create, but it will take a minute or three to do so.  We will start the presentation 5 minutes after the scheduled meeting start time, but I wanted to warn people about this extra step required to join today's meeting.
