Hello, 
is it possible to use traffic generator without loop ? 
We want to use with multiple endpoints and it is not easy to connect endpoints back to traffic generator. We are searching 1:N connection solution without connect back their interfaces. 

Example: The traffic send through an interface and check endpoints traffic with TCP / IP over server/agent.

Ozgur,

I'm afraid I don't understand your requirements.

Can you please elaborate with a diagram?

Yes, you can run a drone agent on each endpoint, connect to it from the GUI (would that be inband or out of band?) to measure tx from your host connected to iface1 and rx on the endpoint.

However, the GUI with 512 portgroups might be a bit crowded - but if you can manage that, it should be fine.

Hi Srivats,

We have 512 endpoint devices and we want to send to each different traffic/stream such as dhcp, tcp, udp. Ixia and trex are working with 2 interfaces as a loop to measure sent streams.

How can we measure with 512 devices. If we install drone agent on many endpoint linux devices, could ostinato connect these endpoints and measure sent traffic each. And also does it support qinq vlan ? Thanks.

Ozgur,

Yes, GUI connects to the drone agent using a TCP connection.

Please contact sup...@ostinato.org for your other questions.

It is wonderful. how can gui communicate each drone endpoints? With TCP/IP ?

And also we want to try it ? Do you have demo licence? Which licence is needed for this setup?

Thanks
